I've started doing detailed mapping of Newmarket, Suffolk (nothing<br>uploaded yet to see). As some of you may know, Newmarket is a centre of<br>horse racing, and has some features which , though probably not unique,<br>
are unusual. One of these is that a number of roads have 'gallops'<br>alongside them. These are a bit like cycleways but for horses - they<br>have special surfaces, specially constructed crossings and street<br>furniture. They are there sometimes for exercising the horses, but some
<br>of them simply provide access from the stables near the centre of the<br>town to the exercising areas on the edge of the town.<br><br>I could (probably will) put these in as bridleways, but that doesn't<br>really capture the essence. We'd normally think of bridleways as tracks
<br>or paths across fields which are open to horses, whereas these are a<br>specially constructed, much higher quality facility.<br><br>I should have taken some photos - I'll do that next time I'm there.<br><br>Has anyone else had occasion to map things like this, and have you done
<br>anything special? Any other suggestions? I do want them to be rendered<br>as they are prominent features of the town.<br></blockquote><div><br>In the Windsor area there are "Horse Margins" which seem to be just designated road verges. I've been tagging them a bridleways. More details and a photo here:
