Dataset containing the public rights of way of Bracknell Forest

The council of Bracknell Forest provide a web page from where you can download their public rights of way data in GEOJSON format. The steps for doing this are given in the next paragraph. There's a shortcut towards the middle of this web page that you can use to avoid all the steps.

On that web page, click on the link labelled Bracknell Forest Public Rights of Way that's in the "Data Links" section of that web page.
On the new web page, click on the link for the layer labelled GIS_PublicRightsOfWay (0).
On the new web page, click on the Query link that is given at the bottom of the web page.
On the new web page, there are a lot of boxes!!
In the first box which is labelled "Where", type
   1=1
About 12 boxes further down, there's a box labelled "Out Fields". In this box type
   OBJECTID,ROWName,Shape__Length,ROWNumber,ROWNo,ROWType,Parish,UniqueID,TRO
About another 6 boxes further down, there's a box labelled "Output Spatial Reference". In this box type
   4326
At the bottom of the screen, there's a menu labelled "Format", choose
   GEOJSON
from the drop down.
Then click on the button that is labelled "Query (GET)". That will take you to a web page that has the GEOJSON.

You can see the GEOJSON that's on this web page by clicking the "Raw Data" tab. And you can save it into a file using the "Save" button.

Shortcut: a quicker way of getting the GEOJSON web page is to use this URL.

Credit: I'm extremely grateful to the author of this web page who provided the info about what to put in the boxes.

The council also provides information about their public rights of way on an online map. Their map may use more up-to-date data.

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.

This web page indicates that the data is made available by the council of Bracknell Forest under Open Government Licence v3.0. 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 Bracknell Forest.

This web site also provides data about the rights of way of Bracknell Forest in KML format, in GPX format, in CSV format and in GeoJSON format.
