Rights of way map

Public rights of way map

The public rights of way map is not the legal record of public rights of way. However, you can use it for leisure purposes.

This map shows the legal position and status of every public right of way in Kent. You may also view all routes in the Definitive Statement.

The Definitive Map and Statement proves a public right of way exists. It will also tell you if you can use a route and if there are any restrictions.

To view the Definitive Map email prow@kent.gov.uk to contact our PROW Team.

If you think the Definitive Map and Statement is wrong, find out how to add, change or correct it.

District councils carry out commercial CON29 requests. Contact your local district council.
