The parish boundaries are derived from OS Boundary-Line. The relevant boundaries are extracted and converted to GeoJSON using QGIS, then simplified using MapShaper. Some post-processing is then done to add names to unparished areas and adjust the names to match the (sometimes historic) parish names used in the Definitive Map and Statement for each county. The resulting files can be re-used under the Open Government Licence. The attribution statement is 'Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database right 2017 to present.'
The rights of way overlays are derived from GIS data provided by each surveying authority (usually a county council,metropolitant district council or unitary authority). Copyright statements and disclaimers for this data are provided below. The actual data-files I use are often taken from Barry Cornelius's rowmaps website, as Barry has already done the hard work in converting the myriad of different formats from the councils into a standard KML format.

District, Borough, Town and Parish Councils must also keep copies of the Definitive Map for their particular areas. That map, and its associated Definitive Map Modification Orders, must be referred to in the case of any specific query or dispute.

This data was provided on 29 November 2021. Any legal order changes after that date will not be incorporated. The Definitive Map is a minimum record of public rights of way and does not preclude the possibility that public rights of way exist which have not been recorded, and of which we are not aware. There is also a possibility that higher rights than those recorded may exist over routes shown as public footpaths and bridleways. The precise line of a right of way can only be determined by referring to the Definitive Map (at 1:10560 scale). The Council can accept no responsibility for any error or inaccuracy which may arise from the transposition of the rights of way Definitive Map to a different scale.

Some other publicly accessible routes are also shown on the parish maps, derived from OSM data. Currently these only include ways tagged with designation=unclassified_highway that are not also one of the main road types (i.e. highway=* is not one of motorway, trunk, primary, secondary, tertiary, unclassified, residential or one of their _link variants). Other routes, such as adopted footways, cycle tracks, and permissive paths might be added in the future. These routes are © OpenStreetMap Contributors, and may be re-used under the ODbL.
