Definitive map and statement of Public Rights of way

The Definitive Map is the legal record of public rights of way and is prepared by Wirral Council as the surveying authority. A 'way' shown on the map is divided into three categories:

  • Footpath
  • Bridleway
  • Byway

The Definitive Statement provides a description of every ‘way’ recorded.

The Definitive Map shows the Wirral region broken down into 13 numbered areas.
