The mapping of this whole area is horribly out of sync with the aerial photography, as it seems that the mapping was done by several different people who never used Imagery Offset, hence nothing ties in with each other...

NB A VERY tight squeeze through the woody hedge here

Is it gate or stile?

Is there really a stile here? If yes, then barrier=stile is missing.
If no then stile= for stile subtype makes little sense.

see osm.wiki/w/index.php?title=Tag:barrier=stile#Stile_types

has this bridge re-opened ?

a check_date tag would be useful

Is the "power house" still a museum/ mini-theatre in 2024?

It's mapped as a cafe, been too long since my last visit to safely re-tag it

This crossing node/8243211243 is marked with "crossing=marked", which implies that there are no traffic signals, and "traffic_signals=yes", an undefined tag which implies that there are traffic signals. This is a contradiction!

If traffic signals exist, then "traffic_signals=yes" should be deleted and "crossing=traffic_signals" should be set.

If the traffic signals do not exist, then the tag "traffic_signals=yes" should be deleted.

I'm puzzled as to the exact status of this long track, which follows the disused railway. It's not on PROW mapping, so has been marked as private, but there are no notices forbidding entry, and it feels like a public right of way, used by many people.

Restricted Byway 16 crosses the sewage plant according to RoW mapping, but the actual route needs confirming

A minor change request to a bridleway alignment.

On OSM presently, the bridleway is marked from this point S of Barrow Farm, Much Hadham, ENE to a gate in a single straight line. This is not how it works in real life!

The landowners' signs and waymarkers has the bridleway going to the same gate in a three-sided rectangle. The bridleway goes around the green hedge SSW, then goes ENE parallel to the OSM-marked bridleway, then NNE to the gate.

In the shared folder below is a map recorded from a GPS trail and a screenshot of Herts' County Council's public copy of definitive map. The definitive map shows a third option (!), which isn't how the waymarking actually is.

There is a gate here, with no stile or gap for pedestrians, which renders the foothpath to the southeast "unnavigable" I'd say.
