Owl Footpath Marker
Footpath waymarkers are indicators that designate the course of public footpaths. In contrast to this owl carving, they are usually small, circular discs affixed to trees, posts, or other structures along the trail. Waymarkers are frequently paired with footpath signs, which provide details about the path, including its number and endpoint.
Footpath waymarkers play a crucial role in guiding individuals and ensuring they remain on the correct route. They are particularly beneficial in regions with numerous trails or where the path is unclear. Additionally, waymarkers can assist in discouraging individuals from encroaching on private property.
Waymarkers for footpaths can be constructed from different materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. They are usually built to be resistant to weather conditions and long-lasting, allowing them to endure the elements.
In England and Wales, with the exception of the 12 Inner London boroughs and the City of London, the right of way is a legally safeguarded privilege that allows the public to walk along designated paths. A public footpath refers to a route where the public has a legally protected right to walk. In certain regions, public footpaths create a closely knit network of short trails. It is likely that many footpaths in rural areas have existed for hundreds of years. Most footpaths are depicted on Ordnance Survey maps at scales of 1:25,000 and 1:50,000.
The right of access on a public footpath normally only extends to walking (there may be other unrecorded rights as well), so there is usually no right to cycle or ride a horse on a public footpath. However, it is not a criminal offence to do so unless there is a traffic order or bylaw in place specifically: it is a civil wrong to ride a bicycle or a horse on a public footpath, and action could be taken by the landowner for trespass or nuisance by the user.
This waymarker is located in Hartley Wintney, a sizable village and civil parish within the Hart district of Hampshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 kilometres northwest of Fleet and 13 kilometres east of Basingstoke. The parish encompasses the smaller neighbouring village of Phoenix Green, along with the hamlets of Dipley, Elvetham, Hartfordbridge, and West Green.
According to the 2011 census, the population of the parish was recorded as 4,999.
