Public Rights of Way
West Berkshire Council manages around 740 miles of Public Rights of Way in order that local people and visitors alike can enjoy the countryside of West Berkshire.
Our online map shows Public Footpaths, Public Bridleways, Restricted Byways and Byways Open to All Traffic (BOATs), and also stiles, gates, steps in our district.
You can read more about Rights of Way through the Gov.uk website, or through Natural England. We also publish information on Temporarily Closing a Road or Public Right of Way (including Public Rights of Way), and 
Traffic Regulation Orders [2Mb].
