Core Paths in the Preston Seton Gosford Area
Core paths form the basic network of paths around East Lothian and link into the wider network of other paths and rights of way around the county. They can be anything from a tarmac path to a grassy field margin. Whilst each core path may not be suitable for all user groups, the core path system as a whole provides for all types of users and people of varying abilities.
This leaflet shows the designated core paths in the Preston Seton Gosford area. The smaller maps Sandwich tern on the reverse show where the routes start in relation to the area’s main settlements. Dog walkers, please keep your dog under close Road and John Muir control, ensure you clear up after your dog and Please visit www.eastlothian.gov.uk and search for Core Path Plan to explore the wider East Way to Aberlady, dispose of dog waste responsibly.
