These maps are digital copies of the current edition of the Definitive Rights of Way Map for the Isle of Wight. The Definitive Map and Statement is the record of public rights of way which the Council has a duty to maintain for public reference under the WILDLIFE AND COUNTRYSIDE ACT 1981. The complete Definitive Statement includes written details of individual rights of way and may be inspected at County Hall in Newport.
Three kinds of highway are required to be shown on the maps: footpath, bridleway and byway open to all traffic. A byway open to all traffic is a carriageway which is mainly used as a bridleway or footpath.
