Hi rskedgell,

I think it is wrong to make the changes you did based on the data you used.

Ihorner2, did state the route had been changed, suggesting knowledge of a change.

PRoW routes change and many are being diverted around field edges. The available digital definitive maps take time to update.

If it has been changed there must be an Order, and it will published on the appropriate authorities website.

A quick search shows there is an Order that reroutes this Footpath. Made on the 8th February 2024, so came into effect on the 7th March 2024.
