Parish Rights of Way

Hampshire County Council owns the description of all the Rights of Way in the county.

On the HCC website, the description of our parish’s Rights of Way is buried deeply among data for the whole county.

So, for ease of use, we have extracted this table containing just the paths and bridleways in Compton & Shawford.

You should refer to the HCC website if you need the definitive version.
