The main rights of way and their markings are:

 Footpaths Yellow arrow − walkers only

 Bridleways Blue arrow − walkers, cyclists and horse riders

 Restricted byways Purple arrow − walkers, cyclists, horse riders and carriage drivers

 Byways Red arrow − as for restricted byways but also motorcycles and motorised vehicles (in effect, byways are open to all traffic and known as BOATS)

Protecting the countryside

When you’re out walking, please remember the main elements of the Countryside Code:

 Leave gates and any property as you find them

 Protect plants and animals

 Take your litter home

 Keep dogs under close control

 Protect wildlife, plants and trees

 Take special care on country roads

All the stages and walks pass through open countryside where there may be cattle. Please always check the latest advice, especially in light of the increasing number of reported cases of injury (more numerous than perhaps might be thought) that have been experienced by walkers with and without dogs. One source of advice is the Hampshire & IOW Wildlife Trust, which publishes a brief guide called Walking with Cattle (please refer to the Hampshire & IOW Wildlife Trust website listed in Appendix D for more information).
