Please centre the map on the location of the problem as accurately as possible (if applicable):

The many wardens and rangers who look after the path walk it at least twice a year to check on all the steps, stiles and fingerposts etc. However, between these checks things can sometimes go wrong, and so it is very helpful if you let us know if you encounter any problems, or if you took a wrong turning due to missing or inaccurate waymarks. The sooner we know about a problem, the sooner it can get it fixed.

To help us forward the details to the right person and for them to quickly locate it, please provide as much detail as possible. Information like where your walk originated from, nearby churches, roads, pubs, details on the walk (bridges, stiles, gates) will be helpful in identifying the spot.
The easiest way for us to know precisely where you are referring to, is by having the problem marked on the Google Map to the right. To do this, simply move the map (click and drag or use the arrows) until the map pin is directly over the problem, and using the + button to zoom the map in closer. As you zoom in close to the coast, the standard mapping becomes vague, but by switching to the aerial photo view (click ‘Satellite’ at the bottom of the map), fields, buildings and much more can be seen.








Your Contact Details

You don't need to give us all these details if you do not wish, but it is often helpful for a path manager to be able to contact you if further information about the problem is required.
