Footpaths

Hampshire Countryside Service manages around 4,500 miles of public footpaths, bridleways and byways, which are maintained locally by teams who work in conjunction with landowners to keep vegetation under control and ensure that paths are kept clear.

As a parish council we work in conjunction with Hampshire County Council to ensure that footpaths and signposts are well maintained. We are also pursuing a country wide initiative to convert old stiles to easy access gates and are working alongside landowners to implement this where possible.

The legal record of Rights of Way is kept under constant review by the map team in Winchester, and this link has a useful tool to help you to plan your routes and make your own maps in the local countryside.

If you want to get out and explore the local countryside with others, see www.wooltonhill.com/footpaths-walks.

We encourage anyone to report any issues with footpaths to the Clerk, and if you feel there is a path that needs attention, please let us know.
