The OS map is not definitive, the local council hold the definitive data. If they have a textual form, not on an OS map, you should be able to get permission to use that. If not, there has been talk of OS no longer making a claim to overlays on OS maps made by public sector bodies as breaching their licence agreement or copyright. This was discussed in an OS blog about the Public Sector Mapping Agreement. I hope this applies to public rights of way, but I'm not sure.
I'll make some enquiries.

The only hard-and-fast evidence for it being private, though, was the OS. That's why I need assurance that this is not copyright infringement before doing it. If it is, then fine. Nick =
