The new right of access to the countryside was completed in England today.
The new right covers most recreational activities carried out on foot, including walking, sightseeing, bird-watching, climbing and running. It gives people the opportunity to walk freely across mapped access land, without sticking to paths. You can download a leaflet in pdf about this new right here.
For the most up-to-date information and maps showing where you can go on access land, including details of any local restrictions and closures, visit the ‘Places to Go’ section on the website www.countrysideaccess.gov.uk.
