Dataset containing the public rights of way of Rutland

When I contacted the council of Rutland in March 2024, they informed me that their public rights of way data is available from their WFSServer. The capabilties of this server can be obtained using this URL. The WFSServer provides the data about footpaths, bridleways and BOATs in three datasets and it can provide the datasets in many formats. For example, here are the URLs to get the datasets as an ESRI shape file for footpaths, bridleways and BOATs.

The Council also provides information about public rights of way on its 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 council of Rutland have informed me that the data from the WFSServer is made available under the terms of 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 Rutland.

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