Hiya, thanks for your edits around the Dales recently. I’ve reverted this change because the access tagging for this bridleway was already correct, and your changes broke vehicle access to Gunnerfleet Farm.

Bridleways are a right of way, and don’t necessarily describe the physical appearance of the route. The tagging to indicate a bridleway is designation=public_bridleway horse=designated. In this case, the physical appearance of the way is as a compacted gravel track, with private vehicular access to the farm.

highway=bridleway is a bit of a distraction and generally only makes sense to use when going across fields, with no vehicular access (a bit like highway=footway is used).

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Access_provisions_in_the_United_Kingdom#Public_bridleways for more information on tagging them.

Thanks! Happy to answer any questions if you have them.
