Walk, Wheel, Ride local area maps
Walking, wheeling and riding are great ways to get active in your local area.
These local area maps identify walking and bike friendly routes, quiet streets, on-road bike lanes and shared paths, making it easier for you to choose more active ways to get around for your everyday journeys.
Think about the local trips that you make without a car such as going to the shops, work, dropping the kids at school or visiting friends.
‘Walk, Wheel, Ride’ local area maps are produced in partnership with local government to help you explore your community.
The maps explained
Each ‘Walk, Wheel, Ride' map is dual sided. One side of the map helps you plan a trip by foot, bike, or other micromobility device, showing bike routes, shared paths, bike lanes, walking trails, bike shops, bike repair stations and bike parking. The other side helps you plan to catch public transport as part of your trip, showing bus routes, train stations, bus stops and wheelchair accessible services.
Both sides show local facilities such as supermarkets, dog exercise areas, public toilets, skate parks, playgrounds and post boxes.
