Public Rights of Way
There are over 980 kilometres of Public Rights of Way in the
Bedford Borough area, linking towns and villages to the diverse
countryside and landscape of the county. The Borough Council is
responsible for the management of this access network, which
consists of 600 kilometres of Public Footpaths, 350 kilometres of
Public Bridleways and 34 kilometres of Public Byway (BOATS). There
are also a number of promoted routes ranging from village walks to
regional trails.
Bedford Borough Council supports the Borough of Bedford Local
Access Forum. This Forum is a statutory advisory body made up of
local volunteers who help to guide the authority on
improvement of public access to land for open air recreation and
enjoyment.
The Rights of
Way Improvement Plan (RoWIP) sets out the Borough
Council’s proposed aims, objectives and practical actions for
increasing public use and enjoyment of the Borough’s public rights
of way network over the next five years, 2012-2017.
