Dataset containing the public rights of way of Bradford
The council of Bradford provide web pages where you can download details of their public rights of way. If you go to this web page, you can see that there are three datasets with links labelled Public Paths Outer, Other Paths Outer and Bradford Public Paths. If you click on any of these links, you will find there's a pane on the left and a map on the right with four buttons between the pane and the map. Usually, the left pane has "Summary", "Details" and "I want to use this" sections. If these do not appear, then click the first button - that's the one that has "More Info" as a pop-up. They should then appear. The Summary includes a "Download" button and clicking on this enables you to download the data as CSV, KML, Shapefile or GeoJSON. If instead you click the "I want to use this" button, then a new menu that includes "View API Resources" appears. Clicking "View API Resources" provides a link to the data in GeoJSON format. For example, here is the link to the "Public Paths Outer" dataset in GeoJSON format. The Council also provides information about their paths on their online map. It may be that their map uses more up-to-date information.
An authority's Definitive Map is the authoritative source of their rights of way. The details of the public rights of way network contained in an authority's data are for information only, and are an interpretation of the Definitive Map, not the Definitive Map itself, and should not be relied on for determining the position or alignment of any public right of way. For legal purposes, an authority's data does not replace their Definitive Map. And changes may have been made to the Definitive Map that are not included in their data. The authority's data contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database right 2024. Attempting to view this data with more detail than 1:10000 may produce an inaccurate rendering of the route of a public right of way.
The "Details" section on the web page for a dataset has a "View license detail" button and this says the data is "public sector information made available by the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council under the Open Government License (OGLv3)". So it's possible for you to use this data provided you give the attribution that the data has been provided by the council of Bradford.
This web site also provides data about the rights of way of Bradford in KML format, in GPX format, in CSV format and in GeoJSON format.
