Aside from the obvious that the PRoWs came before the CRoW act, the
rights are slightly different. PRoWs can't be closed very easily,
they're highways and therefore can't be restricted (by locked gates,
etc), and obviously bridleways allow you to ride a horse or bicycle
on them. <br>
<br>
Open access land can be closed by the owner under certain
circumstances, and often is by the authorities when there's a risk
of moorland fires etc. Footpaths on the other hand would remain open
in such cases. It's just a different legislative setup, and then in
Scotland everything is different again. <br>

You could use something like<br>
<br>
designation=public_footpath<br>
highway=no<br>
note=Although a right of way, there is no path on the
ground.<br>

Would work I guess. The only problem is that if there is no path
on the ground the only way you can easily map them is by copying
from the OS, so a no go.<br>
<br>
OT from Tim's original post but just wondering what the point of
having a PRoW (especially footpaths) on open access land actually
is? Do you have some additional rights when on the footpath that
you don't have on the rest of the surrounding land?<br>
