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.
