Which type Ordnance Survey maps for bridle ways?

[ever_hopeful]

Gosh, just looked online and there are lots of different types of Ordnance Survey maps. I'm looking for the most suitable one for showing bridle way routes. Can't see any of the maps described as showing these, but know some must.

Can anyone tell me which version of the map I need? Thanks.

Pathfinder series is best. Thats what I always used in past and did loads of hacking in Kent.

ask your local council...

pathfinders arent that great IMO but its the best OS do now I think, and bridleways ARE on them, but
I was advised to contact my local council peeps by a countryside ranger, and they had a larger (or is it smaller, i get mixed up) scale map of all the local bridleways etc., is fab

I've always found the Explorer or Outdoor Leisure (both 1:25,000) to be fine.

do they still do them, i went in a bunch of outdoors shops and whsmiths and got blank looks

Same as what Morrighan says, OS Leisure maps have all the bridleways, and byways on; If you go to Waterstones they have them, and will order one for you if they don't have the one you want

The Orange Explorer series; scale 1:25.000 best ones. also show byways, and orpas with green dots.

they dont show the defra routes where LOs are paid; they are on http://cwr.naturalengland.org.uk/ so you need to look at that as well.

Great, thanks for those links. Not much in East Devon, but hopefully the info will expand as people add routes.
