Dataset containing the public rights of way of South Tyneside
The council of South Tyneside have provided me with three zip files that each have a set of MapInfo files. There is one set for their Footpaths; another for their Bridleways and the other one is for their Restricted Byways. The Council say that they don't have any BOATs. I have bundled up these three sets of MapInfo files into a zip file. These MapInfo files seem to have been created on 16th July 2025.
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 2026. 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 of South Tyneside have informed me that the MapInfo files are 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 South Tyneside.
Please e-mail me if you see a web page where the authority of South Tyneside allows you to download the data.
This web site also provides data about the rights of way of South Tyneside in KML format, in GPX format, in CSV format and in GeoJSON format.
