Dataset containing the public rights of way of Waltham Forest
The council of Waltham Forest provides a web page that provides a link labelled "download the spatial data for the council's public rights of way". If you click on this link, your browser will download this gpkg file that has the details about the public rights of way that are in Waltham Forest.
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 Waltham Forest have informed me that the gpkg 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 Waltham Forest.
This web site also provides data about the rights of way of Waltham Forest in KML format, in GPX format, in CSV format and in GeoJSON format.
