In English/Welsh law a highway is a right of passage, so a public right of way is a highway by definition. For OSM purposes? I don't know, but I've always assumed so. As discussed for practical reasons I wouldn't tag a completely inaccessible prow as a highway but I've never considered a physically worn path on the ground a requirement for being a highway=footway, bridleway etc. Adam >
