 The Havant
Borough Cycle Map 2011 is available online for download
(note: large
PDF
files which will take a long time on a slow connection). It is also
available from local cycle shops and libraries. The map covers the
borough in two sheets and includes details of all cycle facilities
at the time of publication in May 2011. 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, and includes in this edition some information about
bridleways (which can also be used by cyclists), key waymarked
routes and the local sections of Long Distance Footpaths.

The other maps in the Solent series cover Portsmouth City,
Gosport
and Fareham.
A set of cycle maps for routes in the Chichester District
Council area is also available on their
web site.
