KML files containing the public rights of way of Warwickshire
The council of Warwickshire have provided me with a zip file that has an ESRI shape file that has the details of their public rights of way. The ESRI shape file was created on 14th February 2024.
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.
The Council states "The Warwickshire County Council has licensed public sector information under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The Council is not liable for any loss, injury or damage of any kind caused by reliance on this information and you should not rely on this information to determine where paths exist. The Definitive Map and Statement provide the legal record of public footpaths, bridleways, restricted byways and byways open to all traffic in Warwickshire."
The council of Warwickshire have informed me that the ESRI shape file 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 Warwickshire.
I have transformed the ESRI shape file into a KML file.
When producing the KML, I have used OSTN15 to transform OSGB36 to WGS64.
