Cycling in the United Kingdom/Local Routes
Many cities and counties have their own local routes. These generally interface with the National Cycle Network but are not part of it.
They vary from city commuter routes (often numbered) to circular rural touring routes (generally named rather than numbered).
It seems likely that, as most regional routes are moved into the national scheme, some will be 'downgraded' to local routes - the circular routes in North Wales, for example.
| County | Route | Description | Complete | Route relation | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buckinghamshire | Milton Keynes Redways | Redway network | ? | 145144 145144 | 2020-03-31 All redways have been consistently tagged as Foot=designated; bicycle=designated,etc.
A single relation for them all would be unmanageable and of little benefit. MK Council have now designated some as "Super Redways" and work has started tentatively to create a relation for each of these.
