Public Rights of Way
Great Bromley village has 23 public rights of way in the form of footpaths, bridleways and byways. These are listed below.
An interactive map of Public Rights of Way in Essex can be found here. Alternatively please refer to OS Explorer Map 184.
Essex County Council and local landowners are responsible for maintaining the rights of way and keeping them free from obstructions. However local volunteers also help to ensure that footpaths remain passable throughout the year.
The village has a Footpath Warden who monitors the rights of way and reports any problems to the County Council or landowners for action. Each year the Footpath Warden surveys and report on the state of the village's rights of way.
The parish is a member of Essex County Council's Parish Paths Partnership scheme.
Comments, suggestions or reports on our rights of way can be clerk [at] gbpc.org.uk (emailed) to the Footpath Warden via the Clerk.
