Hi JamieQuinn,
Welcome to OSM 🙂 It looks like the information you're adding as a name tag is more appropriate for a description or note tag for way 910264832. (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes) According to the OSM wiki, names, (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name) "should not include additional information not contained in the official name such as categories, types, descriptions, addresses, refs, or notes."
Thank you for all of your contributions and please comment back if you need any help adjusting the tags for this feature. - Comment from VLD151

Comment from JamieQuinn
I am new to OSM, but have been enjoying updating my town. I presume you mean my label "Permissive Path, accessible ~3 hrs either side of low tide, slippery in places"? This is a tricky one. I don't make a habit of this - but SUSTRANS got in to trouble from the landowners for marking the path on the land on a new map, when its on the coast and not a right of way. Its tidal, so needs to be labelled as such, but the rest has been suggested by the landowners. It's not currently a right of way, as they keep mentioning on local Facebook groups, and despite it being below high tide, it is not owned by the Crown/Duchy. But it's been walked for goodness-knows how long by locals, and whilst they are happy for it to be marked on OSM, they were only happy BECAUSE I labelled it as such. If I'm not allowed to label it like I have, I will have to delete the path, which would be a shame. Any advice welcome. Jamie

Thank you for the insight on this area. There isn't a solid consensus on the best way to tag these. Tidal=yes is a fairly common tag used in these instances. Here's a link to a discussion regarding a similar situation: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/57094/what-tags-to-use-for-a-way-only-accessable-at-low-tide
