is my tool for gravel ride planning.
the map must be missing some areas. Stratford-upon-avoin is almost bare in footpath/ bridleway versions - but the OS map shows at least a normal amount of FP/ BWs??

Guess it will depend on how thorough / what data set the compilers have used.
Also, something shown as a BW on an OS map isn't necessarily a BW as recorded on the "Definitive Map" held by the relevant council. Definitive Map trumps OS.
Good start though

Can't get it to work on my mobile, so not great 
Had a look on my pc and it appears I know all 5 paths in my local area.
Be useful for rides in mid Wales, lakes etc

Nice but lots of bridleways I know just not there. Would be nice if it included all other bike access routes too.

I like that.
One of the challenges I've set myself is to ride every bridleway within 5 km of home, which I have already done many times over, then increase it to 10km, 15km etc.
This makes it a lot easier to plan.
I agree with numplumz, it would be good to see a version which also included byways, canals and "traffic free" Sustrans routes.

I'd say using any map that shows BW around mid Wales to plan a route, is just leaving yourself wide open to a world of hurtBe useful for rides in mid Wales
