Cheltenham Open Data Adds Cycle Routes
Dedicated cycle tracks and on-road cycle lanes in and around Cheltenham, including the Honeybourne Line and National Cycle Network Route 41, mapped from OpenStreetMap.
Cheltenham Open Data has published a new cycle routes page, mapping dedicated cycle tracks and on-road cycle lanes in and around Cheltenham.
Most of what’s mapped is ordinary street-level provision — a track alongside a road, or a marked lane on it — sourced from OpenStreetMap, the same map data that powers most cycle-routing apps. A couple of routes are notable enough to call out on their own: the Honeybourne Line, a traffic-free path along the old railway towards Bishop’s Cleeve, and National Cycle Network Route 41, which passes through town between Gloucester and Bishop’s Cleeve.
This joins car parks, EV charging and bus data under Getting Around.
FAQs
What Does This Page Show?
- A map of dedicated cycle tracks and on-road cycle lanes near Cheltenham, plus a table of named/numbered routes (the Honeybourne Line and NCN 41) with how much of each falls within the mapped area.
Where Does the Data Come From?
- OpenStreetMap, queried via the Overpass API and released under the Open Database Licence (ODbL).
How Often Is It Updated?
- Monthly — cycling infrastructure doesn’t change often, so it’s refreshed on the same schedule as car parks and points of interest.
My Local Route Isn’t Shown — Why?
- Coverage depends entirely on what’s been mapped in OpenStreetMap. If a track or lane is missing or wrong, it can be fixed at openstreetmap.org and will appear here next update.
