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.

Key:
- Tracks means that the GPS tracks for the route have been uploaded to OSM
- Mapped means that nodes and segments have been created from the GPS tracks
- Labelled means that the segments have been appropriately labelled as a cycle path, see the cycleway key on Map Features.
