Welcome to a citizen science project to map informal (permissive*) walking paths across the UK.

Once developed, the results of the project will help to build a publicly accessible database of UK paths to help raise awareness and preserve evidence of use.

Anyone can submit! Simply download the Epicollect app and search for the 'Path Saver UK' project.
Download via App store for iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/epicollect5/id1183858199
Download via Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.ac.imperial.epicollect.five&hl=en_GB

Once installed, open the project and select '+ Add Entry' from the project menu to submit a location tagged photo of a path with clear evidence of active use.

Thank you for your help and interest in the project!

*Please aim to submit only photos of permissive paths, not the official Public Rights of Way (PRoWs) listed on OS maps.
