Public Rights of Way

Public rights of way are ways over which the public has the right to pass.

There are three forms of public rights of way:

• Public footpaths: for pedestrians only
• Public bridleways: for pedestrians, horse riders and cyclists
• Public byways: for pedestrians, horse riders, cyclists and motorised vehicles, subject to the character of the way.

For further information, or to check whether a path is a public right of way, contact the Street Care Call Centre on 020 7926 9000, or email streetcarecallcentre@lambeth.gov.uk.
