I create a map style designed among other things for England-and-Wales 
not-very-mountainous outdoor use.  You're welcome to use or copy and 
modify that.

... yes to all of those I think.

... but no to those, although I'm sure there's documentation out there 
of how to add that.

... and no admin boundaries.

Here's what it looks like
https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=16&lat=53.08519&lon=-1.71258

There are two bits to the style - a lua tag transform:
https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/master/style.lua

and the map style itself:
https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/openstreetmap-carto-AJT

(you probably won't need to bother with all of that - things like 
"Updating your database as people edit OpenStreetMap" won't be needed I 
guess)

That should still work - from memory one thing you'll have to watch out 
for is that if there are references to fonts in the carto style that you 
don't have installed it'll complain, and you'll need to edit some style 
references out of the carto style.
