Welcome to the PAROW (Penwith Access and Rights of Way) Web Site. The Site is provided to help you to enjoy your walking and riding in the countryside of West Penwith. PLEASE DO TAKE TIME TO EXPLORE THE SITE - For full enjoyment activex must be enabled.  

PAROW was formed in 2002 at the instigation of Penwith District council, The Ramblers Association, The West Cornwall Footpaths Preservation Society and West Penwith Bridleways Association.

PAROW is a partnership supported by Penwith District Council, Cornwall County Council and the Community Development Trust.

It also has received supported from the Cornwall AONB Partnership, and Objective 1 Rural Funds.

The Objective of PAROW is to promote and achieve wider access to public rights of way, paths and open land in Penwith, with further development of the network, in partnership with all aspects of the community.

PAROW Forum meetings are held once each month. All interested in our paths and RoW are welcome to attend. See Meeting Schedule.

PAROW currently employs a Paths Officer and Assistant Path Officer to work alongside the County Council, Parish Councils and their agents in the improvement of our paths network. The Paths Officer also works with voluntary groups such as the Ramblers, Footpaths and Bridleways Associations and their members to work on our paths.

Cornwall County Council, which has legal responsibility for our footpaths bridleways, is aware of the poor state of many of our paths. However Budget constraints make putting things right immediately impossible. However it is now halfway through a phased programme on the renovation of half the paths in Cornwall costing £2.1M.
