Thanks to everyone who replied.
I'll go with "cycleway", since that seems to be the most popular
description of it. I'll try and address the sense of "2 abreast is
possible" and "an ambulance can get down there if necessary" by sticking
a width tag on it.
Re the other thoughts:
Although there is already a Monsal Trail relation*, I think that if you
asked a local "what's the name of that thing those people are walking
along" they'd say "The Monsal Trail", rather than e.g. "The Pennine
Bridleway" (another route relation that runs down here) or "the former
Midland Railway".
I'll move the tunnel names to "tunnel:name".
I won't delete the "over the top" paths (I added some of them myself in
2009!), although these will need resurveying when it's a bit warmer and
dryer. Some of the paths do still exist (including at least one signed
as access land), but some don't (or at least there's a new fence in the
way).
Cheers,
Andy
