What is a Permissive Footpath?

This footpath takes you over private land and isn’t a right of way. The Gorhambury Estate has granted permission for the route to be used by the public, but they also have the right to withdraw that permission if they choose.

The date(s) the path is closed will be published on the website.

What is a Recreational Route?

These are routes created by local authorities, Government agencies or volunteer organisations. They mainly follow existing rights of way and are signposted typically by whichever organisation created the route. If the route is also an existing right of way it will be maintained by a local authority.

Any sections that are not part of existing rights of way may be maintained by the corresponding organisation. Local authorities give permission to show these routes on maps, but they may not actively promote the routes or give them priority over other rights of way.

The recreational route that is marked across Gorhambury Estate follows the same route as the permissive footpath. The path takes you over private land and isn’t a right of way. The Gorhambury Estate has granted permission for the route to be used by the public, but they also have the right to withdraw that permission if they choose.

The date(s) the path is closed will be published on the website.
