Thanks, Richard!
A tip for OsmAnd users (in Android, I can't speak for IOS):
Configure_Map>Map_Source>Add
OsmAnd uses 0,1,2 instead of zoom,x,y in the url, so it's:
https://osm.cycle.travel/rights_of_way/{0}/{1}/{2}.png
You don't need to touch the other fields, just give it whatever name you
like and save. Then you can select it as an overlay or underlay, and it's
lovely! OsmAnd caches the tiles (you can adjust the expiry time from
"never" if you want) so you could even refer to this overlay during offline
navigation or surveying.
BTW, the same principle applies for the OSMUK Cadastral Parcels overlay.
The URL is:
https://tiles.osmuk.org/PropertyBoundaries/{0}/{1}/{2}.png
and set the zoom levels to be 18-22.
