Isle of Wight
Rights of Way Map
The Rights of Way Map for the Isle of Wight
reveal footpaths, bridleways and byways that form a large and richly
interconnected network of paths that contribute to the island's transport
infrastructure; in fact their total length, some 500 miles in all, equals that
of the road system itself.
In 1950 each borough, urban district and
parish were asked to mark on the map all paths that they considered public,
numbering them as they were entered; paths can be identified by it's parish
initials i.e. SW36 is footpath number 36 in the parish of Shorwell |
