Hi DaveF,
Acting on advice, I have already split the Bridleway and re-tagged 2 sections as:
 bicycle=yesdesignation=public_bridlewayfoot=designatedhighway=stepshorse=designatedincline=down  (or up)lit=nosurface=paved

The steps can be seen on aerial imagery (a bit fuzzy on Bing, but particularly clear in the aerial imagery whose name shall not be mentioned in OSM), plus I remember running through there a few  months ago, so I know that the steps are there.   I intend to visit again soon and add more detail (number of steps, etc.)
Between these is a section of the orignal way, which is now https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1277843368
I hope this helps and that you agree with the tagging.

Regards,Peter

  Could you provide the link to the OSM way please?

  Advice, please. 
  A local Public Bridleway has a few (3, 4 or 5 from Aerial imagery) steps going down before it passes under a road bridge, and a similar number up again on the other side. 
  How can I best tag this?  According to the wiki, "highway=steps" seems to be *an alternative to*, not *a qualification of * "highway=bridleway". I don't want to mislead consumers by breaking the bridleway, but I don't want cycling consumers to be unaware of the fact that there are a few steps to descend / ascend, which may require a dismount.
