The National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 required every county council in England and Wales to survey their area and publish a Definitive Map and Statement (DMS) of public rights of way.
The Definitive Map and Statement is the conclusive legal record of the public rights of way in the county. This means that if a route is shown on the Definitive Map and Statement, it is conclusive proof that that route is a public right of way which the public are entitled to use.
The Definitive Map shows the position and status of each public right of way. More information can be found on the Herefordshire Council website: Definitive Map and Statements
You can download the definitive maps for How Caple, Sollershope and Yatton here:
The Countryside Code sets out responsibilities for visitors to the countryside and those who manage the land. You can find out more on the .gov.uk website: Countryside Code
