I thought it was now OK to ride on footpaths in the country?

Absolutely not! A footpath, typically although not always in the
country, is what it says - for pedestrians only.

A footway is usually part of a roadway i.e. a pavement. Cycling is still
generally prohibited although there may be certain exceptions.

It's complicated, see:

Riding on country footpaths is prohibited and is one of my pet hates; it
churns up the path and makes it useless for its intended purpose: walking.
