The optional Footpaths & bridleways map layer displays official public rights-of-way lines supplied through the relevant public authorities and Natural England. It is provided as guide information for planning a day out.

The source dataset is the Natural England public rights-of-way dataset. The data is made available under the Open Government Licence v3.0, subject to the source-specific notices below.

• Contains data supplied by Ordnance Survey; © Natural England.
• Attribution for the current official release: © Natural England copyright 2025. Contains or is derived from OS data. © Crown copyright and database rights. OS AC0000851168.
• Line colours identify the recorded type: teal for footpaths and purple for bridleways.

The layer does not confirm current access, surface condition, maintenance or temporary closures. Check local notices before setting out. The map layer is optional and can be turned off from the Days Out filters.

An activity provider or organisation's own public website may supply factual evidence of its activity type, rehearsal venue or class location. Website evidence is recorded separately from the Charity Commission and ONS data above; it is not presented as government data or licensed under the Open Government Licence.

A charity's registered or correspondence address is not treated as an activity venue unless the organisation's own website also identifies it as the relevant class or rehearsal location.

Some place information is derived from Foursquare OS Places under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

School reference locations come from the Department for Education's Get Information about Schools (GIAS) directory. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Expanded school cards use saved Ofsted inspection data and Department for Education performance data, under the Open Government Licence v3.0. We show inspection dates, dataset dates and results years. Coverage varies, including for colleges; missing or suppressed information is not estimated. Previous-framework grades, ungraded inspections and new report cards are distinguished. Follow the official links for updates.

Nursery and preschool reference locations use Overture Maps Places, subject to the contributing-source licences and attribution notices below. School directory coverage is mainly England, with some Welsh schools. Nursery and preschool coverage varies and places may be missing. Check the location and entrance before saving to your planner.

Some place information comes from Overture Maps Foundation. The Places theme combines contributing sources under different permissive licences. Activity Atlas retains each record's contributing-source and licence metadata rather than applying one blanket licence to every Overture record.

See Overture's current attribution and licensing notices for the contributors and terms that apply.

Some older listings were initially discovered through Google Places and may retain a Google Place ID or a link that opens the place in Google Maps. These identifiers and links are not presented as open-licence data.

The nationwide singing import described above does not copy Google coordinates, photos, phone numbers or website details. Google-hosted maps, photos and place information remain on Google's service and are subject to Google's own terms.
