I thank you for your immediate reply and helpful suggestion. I shall
engage with the family to look at switch2osm - it looks quite involved
for me, alone.

I have recommended OSM to a family running a small business who
wish to add maps to their website, offering local walks from their
premises. My knowledge of OSM is limited to its use and the
contributions I make. My knowledge of working with websites is
zero. Does OsmAnd help in this regard, or can anyone offer
something suitable for this requirement that I can pass on?
As it says at
https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/58311/osm-for-maps-on-a-website/58312
I'd suggest uMap https://umap.openstreetmap.co/en/ . That will allow
you to draw routes over existing map tiles, which is probably what they
want to do (I'm guessing the "local walks from their premises" aren't
signposted on the ground). If you want to create your own map tiles,
then https://switch2osm.org/manually-building-a-tile-server-16-04-2-lts/
would be useful, but it is more work - you'd need to set up a server to
host the tiles.
Best Regards,
Andy
