One thing that you may also need to consider is that the timetables and
therefore number of journeys a day may depend on the month as there are often
summer and winter timetables.

Could the more general description found for "mountain hut"

The Dartmoor Letter Box dates back 50 years. It was setup as a letter box.

In think the word you may be looking for is "ornamental".

Could you use landuse=field? The wiki suggests it has been abandoned but
perhaps it should be used in the context. Presumably you could then add,
field=ornamental_flowers.

Do you need a landuse tag for the last two as they would be called gardens (in
the UK) if people can move round them. Could you not just use leisure=garden
for these?

Sorry, but the picture is not a stable. It is, in the UK, a field shelter.
