Havant Borough Cycle Network Map 2012

The latest edition of the cycle network map is available here for download and personal printing (note: large PDF files).

Leaflets of the 2011 version are available from local cycle shops and libraries (the next leaflet version will be issued in 2013).

The map covers the borough in two sheet sides and includes details of all cycle facilities at the time of publication in July 2012. It is part of a series of maps issued under the banner of the 'Solent Cycle Project' in which the Council has worked closely with environmental charity Groundwork Solent.

The map includes local information such as addresses of cycle shops, crime prevention advice, and contact details for cycling organisations. The map includes information for walkers about local bridleways (which can also be used by cyclists), key waymarked routes and the local sections of Long Distance Footpaths.
