Hi Andy,
Many thanks indeed for the very speedy advice. I will do the basic tagging now
(from aerial imagery and memory) and visit again shortly to add more detail.

A local Public Bridleway has a few (3, 4 or 5 from Aerial imagery) steps going

other side.
How can I best tag this? According to the wiki, "highway=steps" seems to be
*an alternative to*, not *a qualification of * "highway=bridleway". I don't
want to mislead consumers by breaking the bridleway, but I don't want cycling
consumers to be unaware of the fact that there are a few steps to descend /
ascend, which may require a dismount.
Assuming we're talking about something that's signed as a "Public Bridleway" in
England and Wales*, then at the most basic level there are two tags to consider:
- highway=steps
- designation=public_bridleway
The first of those says that there are some steps. There's no other way of
doing that; there are steps, so highway=steps it is. There are of course lots
of other tags that can add information to the physical steps (how many, which
way is up, is there a bicycle ramp, etc.)
The second of those covers the legal "this is a public bridleway" part, as
perhttps://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:designation=public%20bridleway?uselang=en-GB
. You can also add "foot", "horse" and "bicycle" tags too as a helper to data
consumers that may not understand "designation".
There are plenty of designated bridleways with steps on them - see
