I think the main thing we lack for walking is field boundaries. Certainly here in the Cotswolds the actual path network is not far off parity with Ordnance Survey, plus OSM has more metadata (surface quality, stiles/gates, etc.) and is routable. In less popular areas of the country we still have a way to go with the paths themselves.

This might vary from area to area, but I don't generally find field boundaries are necessary. There have occasionally been times where it would have been useful to know which side of the hedgerow the path is on, but I find most of the time my instincts are good enough.
