GeoJSON files containing details about rights of way

Rights of way data for the 127 authorities that are listed in the table below have been released with an open licence.

Many authorities originally released their data under terms equivalent to the Ordnance Survey Opendata Licence. In April 2015, the Ordnance Survey adopted the Open Government Licence. Here's a link to more details about the change in OS licensing.

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.

I have derived GeoJSON from each authority's data. So, on this web page, I'm providing the data about rights of way in GeoJSON format:

Aside: each of the above links takes you to the appropriate folder for that authority. The URL for the folder uses a two character code that identifies the authority. For example, "BL" is used in the URL for Barnsley. There are more details about these two character codes on this web page.

This web site also provides links to the original datasets, rights of way in KML format, rights of way in GPX format and rights of way in CSV format.
