Rights of way

What's over 3,000 miles long but countywide and free to use? The answer is Derbyshire's Rights of Way Network, made up of rights of way, bridleways and byways.


Signpost on a right of wayWe are legally obliged to protect and assert your rights to use the Rights of Way Network and to update the register of map modification applications (the legal record of rights of way for the county).

We deal with disputed routes, obstructions to paths, signing paths from roads, path maintenance, path structures (bridges, gates and stiles) and promoting the use of the network.

To view rights of way in Derbyshire please visit the Derbyshire mapping portal.

The rights of way information is not viewable at a scale larger than 1:10,000.
