Heya. The previous permissions tagging was put in place by the National Trust as part of a big audit they’re doing of rights of way in OSM.

As I understand it, foot=permissive (as it was tagged) does mean that foot access is allowed on the route.

Is the legal situation here a public footpath, or a public permissive footpath? The previous tagging indicated it was a permissive footpath. Did the NT get that wrong?

Just want to check to make sure, since both MBP and NT are authorities on this kind of thing locally. :)
