Beware that the map view above is only a comparison between 'footway' and 'path', it does not show anything for bridleway, track, cycleway or unsurfaced. You may wish find the 'surfaces' view more useful for getting a general insight into path density around the UK and elsewhere. This view does in fact mirror the patchy nature of path data in the UK. http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/main?view=25 Do let me know if you would like us to create any additional views.
