Dataset containing the public rights of way of Trafford

Greater Manchester (GM) has 10 councils: Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan. Open data for these councils is available from the Greater Manchester Open Data Infrastructure Map (GMODIN). As explained on this web page, the open data includes data for the public rights of way (PROWs) that are maintained by the 10 councils.

This web page gives some metadata needed to download the PROWS data. For example, here is a link to download a KML file of GM's PROWs. Note that this KML file has data about the PROWs of all 10 councils.

From this KML file, I have derived a KML file that just has the PROWs of Trafford.

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 PROW data 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 Trafford.

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