Good idea mate but where "powys" in wales gone and I though there is no legal greenlanes in scotland cause the law is different

Isle of man got some as well but you need a permit.

The below site shows alknown Byways in all counties and also include ORPAs which most ROW maps don't include as they are not dealt with by the ROW dept but by Highways

sptb - thanks that a cracking link had a look at it

I should have been more preicse as the ordance survey map shows all the byways but doenst state weather they are open, TRO'd, have temporary TRO etc etc

the council ones seem to show ordance survey maps but have overlays that highlight the byways, makes planning a lot easier if they are highlighted.

Yeap there always mucking about with the councils, I've lived in 3 different ones in the last 30 odd years and never moved.

Worst still they muck around with the boundarys now and again, and some councils control roads and highways in other authorities, kind of swopping responsiblily.

So you can end up spending shed loads of time getting hold of a row officer only to be told although the map says its in thieir authority the row is looked after by another. Even the definative maps for an area can be placed in a neighbouring authority.

anyhow heres an up to date list

I'll bet you find many (if not all) of the maps won't show TRO info either, they will just be an electronic copy of the definitive map. TRO info is held separately.

Have you sized this challenge?
http://www.wayfinderproject.co.uk/
13,500 lengths of track ....

A link for your collection -
http://www.wokingham.gov.uk/environment/countryside/public-rights-of-way/interactive-map

Note that Berkshire does not exist, you need a few unitary councils like Wokingham

cheers, Ross K

rossko

i know this is not going not be an easy challege, but why do easy thats no fun!!!!!

It seems that websites like wayfinder are great but dont seem to have one big map. they have a lot of info on the lanes and locations

if you could merge the info on wayfinder into an OS map that you can then see all the lanes that are the colour coded with links to TRO info possible pictures, info, how hard the lane is etc etc

Thanks for the info i have updated the list in regards to sub-councils in berkshire

No probs, its an interesting concept you have, and it should give a more direct, (email at the least) route to finding local rights of way officers.

the byway map is created from openstreetmap data with a style designed
to show byways clearly

http://bywaymap.com/

OpenStreetMap is a 'wikipedia of maps' or community edited map data
which has had impressive accuracy improvement over the past 5 years
and looks likely to overtake other maps in the same way wikipedia has
overtaken other encyclopedias

http://www.openstreetmap.org/

OpenStreetMap story
http://www.guardian.co.uk/theobserver/2012/feb/18/openstreetmap-world-map-radicals

2008 A Year of Edits
http://vimeo.com/2598878

the great thing about it is that you can easily edit the source map data by
going to OpenStreetMap - byways can be tagged in this form
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_Tagging_Guidelines#Byway

once that is done, it will be picked up in the byway map on the next
update (weekly)

i've done some edits in my area - it's easy and fun
