Across the north of the town runs an abandoned railway line which is now a rail trail footpath. It has footpath signs (not cycleway signs). My OS map shows the route as a footpath (short green dashes) but also shows it as a offroad cycle route (orange dots). The path that I saw was fairly narrow and very muddy. The route was tagged as a cycleway, but because of the footpath signs I changed it to highway=footway; cycle=yes.The rest of the town was fairly straightforward. I think there may be a few other bridleways around the place. If no-one else sorts them out I may well return in the summer and have a walk or a ride around them. Thinking about it - I could walk in the beautiful Wolds, wander along the Yorkshire coast or seek out some peace along a quiet part of a river or canal, so why would I walk through a town like Hedon?

Surely you mean bicycle=yes instead of cycle=yes!
Yes I mean bicycle=yes. It's one of life's little mysteries: where do all the taxis go when you want one, how does the snowplough driver get to work, and why is it highway=cyclway and bicycle=yes
Hi Chris - Interested in your Open Maps project. I've commented on the Geograph Project in my Blog about Hedon - but would appreciate it if you could have a look over at http://hedonblog.wordpress.com and perhaps leave a few comments about Open Map?
Regards
