Dataset containing the public rights of way of Suffolk
The council of Suffolk have provided me with a zip file that has both MapInfo files and an ESRI shape file that both provide details of their public rights of way. The zip file was created on 8th October 2024. As well as the data, the zip file also has a useful readme file describing the data and a spreadsheet that has a key to the list of parishes. The council of Suffolk kindly provide this data every 3 months.
This data contains public sector information from Suffolk County Council. 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.
This web page indicates that the data is made available by the council of Suffolk 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 Suffolk.
The zip file also has a file that has the Council's Definitive Statement. And this file says the Definitive Statement is also released with the OGL v3.0.
Please e-mail me if you see a web page where the authority of Suffolk allows you to download the data files.
This web site also provides data about the rights of way of Suffolk in KML format, in GPX format, in CSV format and in GeoJSON format.
