Public rights of way
Last updated: 20 January 2010 11:00 UKPublic rights of way are minor public highways which benefit the community at large, in much the same way as the public road network does.
A public right of way is a legal route over which the public has the right to pass at any time for leisure and recreation.
They include footpaths, bridleways, restricted byways and byways open to all traffic.
Through the links on the right you will find everything you need to know about rights of way in Portsmouth.
