It's signposted as a bridleway (only the northern section), so it is
technically correct. On the basis of map whatbyou see on the ground,
thats a valid change. So long as it have bicycle=yes, and retains
the NCN information, I don't think it matters that much. Oliver is
right though, use by horses is essentially non existent. In visual
terms, one might call it a track, which happens to be designated a
bridleway.


It does render differently (I know, don't tag for the renderer, but it
seems reasonable for a renderer to infer the primary use from the
highway tag)
If you're on a road bike you'd usually want to avoid anything that shows
up as a brideway .. Taking a bike down
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/52724259 was interesting :)


Indeed, but it's a rather subjective approach. The usual rule is map 
what you see, not what you think, and in this case it is signed as a 
bridleway (and is also designated as such). A good rendering would take 
note of the surface tag when displaying cycle specific information.

Well, it does already have designation=public_bridleway too.

I'll try to ride the length of the path some time checking what exactly is
signposted.

I wonder if cyclestreets assigns different costs to highway=bridleway vs
highway=cycleway? It does show them differently in the resulting
directions, at least.

I'll ask Simon.
