Hello Tony,
Glad you like MapThePaths! The parish names are taken verbatim from Barry's data. I'll look at some of Barry's files to see if I can pull out a field which is consistently the actual parish name; the one I use is the one that translates to the parish in several councils in this area, e.g. Hampshire, Surrey and West Sussex, though I note that Wiltshire also uses an abbreviation e.g. WHIT for Whiteparish.

I have performed this conversion by looking at Barry Cornelius's data file and extracting District and Parish ID's and matched them to the 9-8 element of the ID. I have a spreadsheet of the DIstrict and Parish combinations - is there somewhere I can place it to help others? Alternatively could MapthePaths be modified to use the parish name instead of the District/Parish ID numbers. I noted there are 231 parishes and unparished towns, some with only one footpath. Some of the parish names are mis-spelt eg BYRNING-WITH-WARTON should be Bryning . . .
