The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 requires Devon County Council to keep the Definitive Map and Statement of public rights of way under continuous review and to make modifications where it appears that routes should be added, regraded or deleted.  A review is currently being undertaken in the Parish of Clayhidon.

A total of six proposals for change to the public rights of way in Clayhidon have been proposed and published on the parish consultation map. The six proposals are

  1. 1. Suggested upgrading of Footpath No.14 (part) Clayhidon to a public bridleway from north east of the Kingsmead Caravan site at GR ST (1814,1690) south via Ringdown Cottage and Garlandhayes to county road at GR ST  (1739,1586)
  2. Suggested addition of a public bridleway; Nick Reed’s Lane GR ST (1540,1461) to  GR ST(1553,1435)
  3. Suggested upgrading of Footpath No.31 Clayhidon Ridgewood Lane (part) and Footpath No.40, Hemyock Lemons Hill to a Bridleway GR ST (1580,1280) to the Clayhidon / Hemyock  parish boundary at GR ST (1570,1198) to Lemons Hill GR ST (1524,1192)
  4. Suggested addition of a public footpath as a continuation to join Bakers Farm footpath in Somerset; GR ST (1761,1237) to the Somerset Boundary at GR ST (1771,1241)
  5. Suggested downgrading of Bridleway No.38, Gotleigh Moor, Clayhidon to a public footpath from the south east end GR ST (1968,1057) to   north end GR ST (1833,1147) near Middleton Barton (Schedule 14 Application received in January 1995)
  6. Suggested addition of a public bridleway along Routy Lane near Newcot Cross at GR ST (1601,1053) to county road GR ST (1661,1023)
