Hi all, I thought this UK list of orchards was interesting. It would be nice if they were to release it as open data. Not sure if they traced it from some restricted source though. http://www.ptes.org/index.php?page=205 http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_9474000/9474777.stm I

To me, the most significant thing about that map is that it demonstrates how vast swathes of the UK have almost no footpath data at all. True, it shows how the paths are nicely concentrated in the south-east, the Manchester area, and the National Parks. Time for some footpath parties, or

Thanks for the suggestion. Take a look at this one which I hope does roughly what you have asked for with the exception that I have coloured 'other designations' with a off-yellow (as used for unrecognised values in other map views) and I have added grey for paths with no designation. Grey

Can do. Is this a separate value/colour or is it an alias for another value? If it is a separate colour then what colour would you suggest? I use it for full byways (rather than restricted) but others might use it for other things. Maybe in view of what Robert said it's best they're re-tagged
