A public bridleway connecting the village of West Kennet to the Wansdyke has been partly destroyed. The section at reference SU 09 66 has had its demarcation fence removed and has been ploughed into a neighbouring field by the farmer. For about half a mile the path is inaccessible to horses, and forces walkers to tramp through crops or poughed soil.

Does anyone know who to contact about this? I'm guessing there's a land registry in Devizes?


Try this link - it should also take you to the Mid Wilts Ramblers website. The Ramblers have Rights of Way officers which work in partnership with local or county councils. If the path you mention is a public right of way the farmer will be legally obliged to re-instate it.
