WikiProject United Kingdom National Cycle Network

From OpenStreetMap

Jump to: navigation, search

An OSM project to map the UK's National Cycle Network (NCN). Co-ordinated by Sustrans, the NCN links most parts of the UK with special traffic-free routes and quiet country lanes. It has its own numbering system, roughly analogous to the road network. Though the network is mapped on Sustrans' own site, this is derived from Ordnance Survey mapping (and the maps are very slow!). By using OSM to create our own, better maps of the network, we can promote use of this wonderful resource.

An international cycling map created from OSM data is available, provided by Andy Allan. The map rendering is still being improved, the data is updated each week. It shows National Cycle Network cycle routes, other regional and local routes, and other cycling specific features, such as
  • Dedicated Cycle tracks and lanes
  • Bicycle parking
  • Contours and Hill Colouring
  • Bike shops

Tagging mileposts

There are many mileposts around the network, which can be tagged and are rendered on the cycle map. They come in one of four different types.

Tag Element Description
ncn_milepost=dudgeon node Dudgeon type milepost
ncn_milepost=mccoll node McColl type milepost
ncn_milepost=mills node Mills type milepost
ncn_milepost=rowe node Rowe type milepost
