Freedom to Roam
The Ramblers Association campaigns to increase and protect public access to the countryside for recreational enjoyment.
Help us safeguard access to Britain’s coastline
Did you know that in England and Wales, there is no general legal right to walk along the coast and on beaches? Currently much of the access the public has to areas such as beaches and cliff tops are by permission of the landowner. The Ramblers’ Association campaigning for a legal right of access to our coastline and beaches for future generations.
Right to roam becomes a reality
After decades of campaigning by the Rambler's Association, we now have a legal right of access on foot to some of the wildest and most dramatic landscapes in England and Wales. This new legal right - or right to roam - provided by The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CRoW), applies only to mapped areas of uncultivated, open countryside namely mountain, moor, heath, down and registered common land.
