KML files containing the public rights of way of Gateshead
The council of Gateshead provide a web page from where you can download an ESRI shape file that contains details of their public rights of way.
The council also provides information about public rights of way on its online map. It may be that their 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 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 says the ESRI shape file is released with "Open data waiver". I guess this means it's possible for you to use this data provided you say that it is public sector information released by the council of Gateshead.
I have transformed the ESRI shape file into a KML file.
When producing the KML, I have used OSTN15 to transform OSGB36 to WGS64.
