OK. Will modify MapThePaths to show the parish ID as well as the actual reference number.

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

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.

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.
