Hi,

I’ve added the footpaths immediately north and south of this note in changesets https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/132540366 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/132541608. There are lots more footpaths in the area which are still to map.

I only added them in very roughly, using the ‘Public Rights of Way’ overlay in the editor (you can enable it in the ‘Background Settings’ pane on the right). Particularly, I couldn’t always work out how the footpaths cross hedges/walls using the aerial imagery.

So please do go ahead and improve on it, particularly if you have local knowledge or can survey locally. :D

Note that you will need to align the aerial imagery to the ‘OSMUK Cadastral Parcels’ overlay before editing, as there is quite a large offset of about -2.82,-0.94m here due to misalignment of the Bing aerial imagery. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_aerial_imagery#Imagery_and_OSM for more details.

Note also that using footpath data (or any other data) from OS maps is not allowed in OpenStreetMap, as the OS data is copyright and not licensed for use in OSM. You can only use freely licensed sources of data, such as the ‘Public Rights of Way’ overlay. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ordnance_Survey for more details.

Happy mapping :)
