I don't think there is anyone rendering it explicitly at the
moment, however, it would be trivial for someone to take the
OpenCycleMap code and apply a similar style to an OpenWalkMap.<br>

I'm not entirely convinced it's that straightforward.
OpenCycleMapmakes extensive use of tags such as "lcn" and there
isn't a corresponding one in widespread use* for long distance
paths.<br>
<br>
The entries on the "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_United_Kingdom_Long_Distance_Paths">WikiProject_United_Kingdom_Long_Distance_Paths</a>"
would probably need a bit of tidying so that those that really are
long distance paths (whatever that is - the page covers the
"official" UK LDPs and many much shorter ones) identify themselves
in a consistent way that they can be shown on a map. If you
showed all "route=foot" relations you might get more than you
bargained for. In some places the plethora of overlapping named
routes could cause a lot of confusion.<br>
<br>
In terms of rendering style Nick's Freemap is already there or
therabouts, I think, notwithstanding server space and updates.
The Geograph links seem to be in the right place too (which is
more than Wikipedia and Google manage for similar items!).<br>

There is a relationship type route with network tag uk_ldp, and in
Potlatch it already renders the long distance paths in a different
way, so in principle it should be easy. Not sure whether that has
been adopted though.<br>
