OK, so while we're talking about this, there are a number of paths
near me.  Nice smooth concrete, about 2m wide. They run through parks,
and there are signs on the park as a whole that say "No motorised
vehicles".  These paths are marked with a sign that has a pedestrian
and a bicycle, and another sign that says "Cyclists give way to
Pedestrians".  How would you normally mark these?  I've used footway,
plus bicycle=yes.  I don't feel right calling it a cycleway if they
have to give way to other users.

Just to confuse the issue, some of them also have name signs, and most
of these names are "Xxxx cycle trail" (or similar). Even on these,
though, pedestrians still have right of way.
