Improving and increasing access to open countryside

The new right of access introduced by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CRoW) allows access to some of the wildest and most dramatic landscapes in England and Wales.

The Ramblers continue to work hard to ensure that the public can enjoy responsible access to all areas of open countryside.
