“A right for all Her Majesty’s subjects, at all seasons of the year, freely, at their will, to pass and repass without let or hindrance"
This page provides some clarification of facts and standards generally required of rights of way relevant to horse riders, which may aid your decision on whether reporting an issue is justified. Please download the document above 'ReportingBridlewayIssues.pdf', which provides details of accepted standards re bridleway widths, gate widths, type of problems commonly encountered, roles and responsibilities with regards to bridleways in relation to Highways, landowners and general public. It is important to note the width of a Highway is from hedge to hedge (or between boundaries) along a road not just the stony track/metalled surface along the middle.
