I personally can't say this is the type of level I'd see, though my preference can differ from the majority. I find the "deep dirt" tiles to look square when laid out and ultimately ugly to look at -- I much prefer the other dirt tiles. Not only do they look better and don't stand out as much(dirt and grass should visually appear on the same plane of vision, and the black outlines on the deep dirt makes them pop too much), but they also come with a ton of other tiles to give the paths more variety in their turns. I definitely don't think the look good when interchanged, but I can't say it's the worst looking thing.

I also don't prefer that style of cliffing. The ^ and v turns just look like tile errors to me, and they end up looking like a slinky or something.

The swamp tiles could probably be better laid out, and rounded off. Right now they look pretty square. You can use the other swamp tiles(there are two, the main, and the edge) to make that a bit more smoother to look at. Also, you should keep the stuff like bushes and all off to the edge of the playing area(like up against cliffs). It looks more natural to look at and also helps from obstructing the playing area.

If you want to post the level I could possibly show some edits, or maybe someone else can.
