Free OS Maps
The County Council has become the first authority in the country to secure free use of mapping information from the Ordnance Survey (OS) in order to help more people to get out and about to enjoy the Cambridgeshire countryside.
Information on Cambridgeshire's extensive network of byways, bridleways and footpaths is provided to OS by the County Council, but the council had to pay a fee to use that information - now thanks to the new agreement, use for whatever purpose will be free.
The expanded electronic database is available to others via the
Council's Countryside Access and Rights of Way Team (see link below).
The site now includes information on the full network of permissive paths and access sites as well as other information on ways to get out and about in the Cambridgeshire countryside.
