The route of a footpath is shown by waymarks with yellow arrows

• You have the right to walk together with any ‘normal accompaniment’ (e.g. a dog, pram, wheelchair).
• You do not have the right to use a bicycle, or even to wheel a bicycle along them. This is not a criminal offence, but a trespass against the landowner.
• It is a criminal offence to drive a motor vehicle along a public footpath (unless you have a private right).
• You do not have the right to ride or lead a horse or take a horse-drawn vehicle along a footpath, although it is not a criminal offence.
