Reporting footpath problems
We are lucky in Wolsingham to have a host of walks and walk options to choose from. Inevitably, sometimes footpaths can become obstructed, stiles can get worn, or waymarks can fade. The Wolsingham Wayfarers are committed to spotting and reporting obstructed rights of way.
The more people spot and report problems the better, so if you spot a problem footpath please report it to us or contact the County Durham Public Rights of Way team at prow@durham.gov.uk. (If you decide to contact the PROW team directly please let us know too so we can monitor progress).
Reporting a problem is not difficult, but we need to know exactly where the problem you've spotted is. If you know how to read an Ordinance Survey map you can tell us the grid reference. An easier way is to look at the County Durham Definitive Map. Once you've found the rough location on the map, use the zoom to find the footpath number. You can also place your curser on the location in the map and the coordinates will appear at the bottom left.
