Users will have five main sources of finding the National Bridleroute Network. These are through the Ride UK web site, maps, leaflets, signs, and advertising.

Those living, riding or working close to a National Route will start to see the distinctive route numbers appearing on signposts and direction boards. The photograph shows one of the signs on the London Orbital Bridleroute (H25).

The Ordnance Survey will show routes that are fully signed or waymarked, open and available for use on the Explorer and Landranger series of maps. The present system of using the green lozenges and writing the name of the route periodically along its length can make maps appear cluttered, especially in suburban areas. The British Horse Society is discussing simpler methods of showing National Routes, just as there is a simpler method of showing routes in the National Cycle Network with Ordnance Survey.

The consistent use of the red patch logo whenever National Routes are mentioned is encouraged. The next edition of the British Horse Society's Bed and Breakfast for Horses [1] will start to show National Route numbers against those establishments that are within 5 miles [TBC] of part of the Network.

Pubs, shops and hoteliers that are advertising their services to people using a near-by National Route will be able to use the red patch logo in their advertisements and on window stickers and signs.
