Many thanks for the suggestions and links. A lot to take in there.
Zooming the tiles far enough to see the track detail is essential, so
I'm wondering if I'm looking at doing this the wrong way.
It's not intended that the tiles would be viewed on a slippy map in a
web browser. I'm writing a W

Re a "UK walking style" there is Freemap, my own (long-standing) project, which
has gone through a number of ups and downs (mostly due to hosting difficulties
and lack of time to work on it) but has had a number of style improvements this
year due to having more time than expected to work on it

I've been trying to persuade country-walking groups to use OSM. There is

I've been trying to persuade country-walking groups to use OSM. There is
a lot of useful stuff there not shown on OS Explorer -- stiles, kissing
gates, benches, bus stops, all pubs, cafes, etc. It's a lot more
up-to-date, and if they find anything
Traveline, a public transport website, use OSM for both presenting a map
and for routing, eg http://www.travelinesw.com/
They get confused by bus-only roads - access=no/motor_vehicle=no combined
with bus=yes/designated on a road leads to very strange routing (or did the

My thanks to Mateusz and Dave for their comments, which I would like to
try to summarise as I see it:
* the purpose of OSM mapping in the UK of rural buildings is primarily
