The Definitive Map of Oxfordshire shows the location of
Oxfordshire's Public Rights of Way.
It also indicates whether the public right of way is
a footpath, a bridleway, a restricted byway or a byway.
The Definitive Map consists of 142 sheets, each sheet containing a 1:10000 map.
Although paper copies of these sheets are available in local libraries
for inspection,
the Countryside Service
of
Oxfordshire County Council
has also made them available online as PDF files.
Use this link to see
details about the online version of the Definitive Map.
That web page has a link to a PDF that is a map of Oxfordshire.
Overlayed onto this map is a grid of squares,
one square for each of the 142 sheets.
And if you click on a square,
your browser will get the PDF file for that sheet.
You may find that to be your easiest way of finding the appropriate sheet.
Here is a link to a much simpler map. It can also be used to access these PDF files. You may find it useful.
Alternatively,
you can use the following form
if you wish to find the sheet that is appropriate for a particular place.
type into the box below the name of the place (e.g. Upper Heyford),
a postcode (e.g. OX25 5LB)
or a grid reference (SP498261,
SP49832613
or
SP4983526135).
Then click the search for place button.
If you type in the name of a place,
you don't have to type in all of the name and
the searching doesn't worry about capital letters.
So, for example, you could use heyf
and it would find any place that has heyf as part of its name.
Only places that are in/near Oxfordshire will be found.
