People are being asked to share their thoughts about Cornwall's footpaths, bridleways and byways.
Cornwall Council wants feedback to help shape its Rights of Way Improvement Plan to preserve and improve the 2,796 mile (4,500km) network over the next 10 years.
The survey, external asks what journeys people take using public rights of way and if there are any barriers preventing access to them.
Residents, businesses and visitors are invited to take part in the survey which closes on 28 September.
Councillor Loic Rich said: "Our public rights of way enable us to explore some of the best and most beautiful parts of Cornwall and help us to be active outdoors, which is vital for our physical and mental wellbeing.
"The Rights of Way Improvement Plan must balance the needs of everyone including walkers, horse riders, cyclists, and people with mobility challenges or sensory impairments.
"That's why it's so important we hear from as many people as possible so we can improve our public rights of ways for one and all."
