Thanks, Nick. In fact Barry shows all 6 figures, but with a gap between
the parish prefix and the PROW reference number.

Hello Roger,
Yes, I think I've noticed the 6-figure PROW IDs when I've been in the
Lake District.
The IDs I use are those that Barry Cornelius (rowmaps) uses, as my
data is taken from his site. Not sure if he has access to the full
IDs, but it's worth contacting him as he would probably know - his
site is rowmaps.com.

I have found a difference in the references given in Map The Paths my
area from that on the local authority maps, and I suspect it is universal.
The paths are given with a 3 figure reference, but on the maps issued
by the Lake District National Park Authority to volunteer footpath
surveyors, they have a 6 figure reference, the first three referring
to the Civil Parish in which they lie. (The LDNPA maintains footpaths
in the National Park under contract with Cumbria County Council.)
For example, OSM way 2186193630 coincides with footpath reference 049
in Lowick parish, but is numbered 551049 on the LDNPA map. All paths
in Lowick are prefixed 551. Where this path crosses into the next
parish (Blawith and Subberthwaite) it becomes ref 016 on Map The
Paths, but is 505016 on the LDNPA map. All paths in this parish are
prefixed 505.
The 3 figure references are certainly re-used in different parishes.
For example, there is a bridleway (OSM 54189587) also with the
reference 016 (539016) less than 2 km away in the adjoining Kirkby
Ireleth parish (it becomes 505023 where it crosses into Blawith and
Subberthwaite, and I have spotted another 023 a few miles away in
adjoining Colton parish), so that confusion is certainly possible.
I do not know whether these parish prefixes are available under a
suitable license, but if they are, I think they would be a useful
addition to the Map The Paths references.
Regards,
Rogerc
