Norfolk County Council Interactive map of footpaths, bridleways etc.

This map is available via the NCC website and I want to recommend it to all Ramblers members especially walks leaders. I have found it a wonderful resource and easy way to report footpath problems without looking up map refs. etc.

This is how it works: Go to www.countrysideaccessmap.norfolk.gov.uk . You get a small map of Norfolk with all the Footpaths etc. marked in different colours. Footpaths are blue for example.

Use the + and – signs to increase/decrease the size of the map and the directional arrows to navigate round the map to your required place and click on the footpath where you found a problem. You can also find a parish by typing the name in on the searching facility.

Then, and this is where the good bit comes, a window appears telling you details of the path including parish and footpath number and the option to report the problem directly : “To submit a comment

You are then directed to your email service (in my case Outlook Express) with the subject line filled in with the parish and path number, and the “To” line already filled in with [email protected] .

You then describe the problem, send the email and that’s it! You can also attach photos if you have them.

You need to get used to the site by using it but it gets easier the more you use it. If you don’t use Outlook then I don’t know if you get directed to your particular email service. However you do get all the information from the map that you need to email them as a separate process, except for the NCC email address [email protected]. And now I’ve given it to you twice.

Ian Mitchell has been told by NCC that despite cutbacks they are keeping this map for the time being, so please give it a go. Prior to the NCC cutbacks problems were sorted quite quickly after reporting them this way – let’s see how they do now.

Appeal for Help Do you want to walk the more hilly regions of England? If so, phone Most planning applications do not affect our footpaths; but some can affect them Patrick or Diane on 01508 493017. The badly either visually or by intentionally or unintentionally blocking the path. Where the latter is recognised by authority, the path may be diverted, although not Norfolk Hillwalking Club runs a minibus necessarily on the most agreeable route.

The time for doing old Norfolk. anything is when the planning application is made to the local authority. Several of our planning authorities have provision for notifying the public when an application may affect a right of way.

Breckland and are very good at doing this and it is with these that I need help as they are quite frequent.

Breckland notifies me in the form of an email, which I can open and find most of the detail and plans to help me judge if the development may affect a path. Much proposed work can be judged from the plans but sometimes a visit to the path can You pay only for the accommodation - we guide you on the Lake District fells Couples and small / medium sized groups are our speciality help to form a view. Then usually a brief comment on the proposal can be made. Something more lengthy and emphatic is only occasionally required. Alternatively, relax and unwind, book on an accommodation only basis we can advise on sightseeing, restaurants, walking etc. South Norfolk planning applications are advertised in the Eastern Daily Press on

Thursdays with various reasons for the advert. Then they have to be looked up on South Norfolk’s planning website, if one is to avoid going into their Long Stratton
