Dataset containing the public rights of way of Blaenau Gwent
The council of Blaenau Gwent have provided me with MapInfo files that contain the details of their public rights of way. The MapInfo files seem to have been created on 11th February 2013.
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 MapInfo files were made available by the council of Blaenau Gwent under terms equivalent to the Ordnance Survey OpenData Licence. When I e-mailed the Ordnance Survey about the councils that had, during the last few years, successfully obtained an exemption from the Public Sector Mapping Agreement and released their data under terms equivalent to the Ordnance Survey OpenData Licence, they replied All data exempted by Ordnance Survey is now covered by the Open Government Licence (OGL), which superseded its own OS OpenData licence in April 2015. So it's possible for you to use this data provided you say that it is public sector information released by the council of Blaenau Gwent under the Open Government Licence.
Please e-mail me if you see a web page where the authority of Blaenau Gwent allows you to download the MapInfo files.
This web site also provides data about the rights of way of Blaenau Gwent in KML format, in GPX format, in CSV format and in GeoJSON format.
