SK8839 : Bridleway footbridge next to the A1
taken 6 years ago, near to Great Gonerby, Lincolnshire, England
Bridleway footbridge next to the A1
The lack of wear on the path suggests that this right of way is little used; probably because its southern end terminates 'nowhere'.
Dead end public rights of way
"However, the Definitive Maps [of Public Rights of Way] are full of anomalies where ‘dead end’ public rights of way stop for no apparent reason. This frequently occurs at parish boundaries, where adjacent parish councils took a different approach to what they considered to be a public right of way when the Definitive Maps were being first drafted [in the 1950s]." (Ref.: Technical Standard ‐ Public rights of way. Document no.: HS2‐HS2‐HW‐STD‐000‐000002).
The Ramblers Association is leading efforts to ensure that missing historic rights of way are added to the Definitive Map before the cut-off date of 2026 Link
