Natural England - Greenways handbook
Greenways handbook
This handbook aims to help practitioners to plan and create traffic-free, off-road routes to meet the needs of walkers, cyclists and/or horse riders.
The guidance is based upon the experience gained from the Greenways demonstration projects. It is further informed by the work of organisations such as Sustrans who have helped increase an understanding of how to plan and design such routes.
Local authority officers with a remit for transport, health, recreation, rights of ways or tourism are encouraged to use the approach to Greenway design set out in this guidance.
The guidance has been organised into four sections, which are available to download:
