Public Rights of Way

Little Clacton has a fair amount of footpaths and bridleways and in 2003 a new bridleway was made around Street Farm. This bridleway was extended into Holland Road at the beginning of 2005 giving another entrance. Most footpaths are cut once a year as it is assumed that walkers and riders clear them with use. So carry on walking.

"Definitive Map of Public Rights of Way for the County of Essex"

This document is a paper item held by the County Council with various bodies around the County, including Parish, and other, Councils holding a copy for local reference.  The 'original' copy held by the County Council is the legally definitive record. This arrangement, on its own, did not form an entirely convenient arrangement for the usual purposes of walkers and other users of the public rights of way seeking information on where public footpaths exist, where they lead and how they are connected into the wider picture.
