Dataset containing the public rights of way of Surrey
The council of Surrey provides a web page that has a link labelled "I confirm that I agree to and abide by the terms of use outlined above and wish to download the file". If you click on that link you can download an ESRI shape file that contains the details of their public rights of way. The Council also provides information about public rights of way on an online map: go to this web page and click on the link that is labelled "The Surrey Interactive Map terms and conditions". It may be that their map uses more up-to-date information.
An authority's Definitive Map is the authoritative source of their rights of way. The details of the public rights of way network contained in an authority's data are for information only, and are an interpretation of the Definitive Map, not the Definitive Map itself, and should not be relied on for determining the position or alignment of any public right of way. For legal purposes, an authority's data does not replace their Definitive Map. And changes may have been made to the Definitive Map that are not included in their data. The authority's data contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database right 2026. Attempting to view this data with more detail than 1:10000 may produce an inaccurate rendering of the route of a public right of way.
This web page says the ESRI shape file is made available by the council of Surrey under the Open Government Licence. So it's possible for you to use this data provided you give an attribution.
This web site also provides data about the rights of way of Surrey in KML format, in GPX format, in CSV format and in GeoJSON format.
