We are gathering insights from landowners and land managers to help identify issues and opportunities for improving the public rights of way network and access to the countryside. Your feedback will directly inform the development of the Rights of Way Improvement Plan for the next ten years. This includes all types of public rights of way such as footpaths, bridleways, and byways, along with off-road cycle routes and areas of open or common land that provide public access.
The plan is aspirational in nature, setting out a vision for future improvements. Delivery of any projects will depend on available resources, necessary permissions, the legal framework, and opportunities such as development initiatives.
