Dataset containing the public rights of way of Lake District National Park
The Lake District National Park Authority provide a web page that has two links. One is labelled "Shapefile". The second link is labelled "LDNPA Inspire WFS Service". That second link enables you to download the data about public rights of way as a GML file.
Both the Cumberland Council's website and the Westmorland and Furness Council's website provide a link to an online map that shows their public rights of way. It may be that this 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 2026. 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 GML file is made available by the Lake District National Park Authority 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 Lake District National Park.
This web site also provides data about the rights of way of Lake District National Park in KML format, in GPX format, in CSV format and in GeoJSON format.
