Finding Bridleways in England and Wales

[milliepops]

Hi @milliepops, most Forestry Commission tracks are classified as "permissive paths", meaning that the FC can impose limitations on access, and withdraw access altogether as they see fit. Adding these sort of paths to the map is difficult for a whole host of reasons.

The best I can find in terms of finding FC routes is https://www.forestryengland.uk/activities/horse-riding#search

Hope that's of some help

ah ok. I generally just wander about on foot and follow hoofprints first there are a few rides mapped by the BHS in the area but people ride all over so i was just wondering whether there's a way to see all the stony paths. one actual bridleway passes my yard but turns into a footpath about 50m from the road so you just have to turn back the way you came.

Definitely worth checking out @Orangehorse 's advice (#48) to see if the footpath should be recognised as a bridleway.

OP. What does yellow mean ? Red is footh path. Purple RBway.
