Always make sure that you follow the Country Code wherever you go

• Enjoy the countryside and respect its life and work
• Guard against all risk of fire
• Fasten all gates
• Keep your dogs under close control

Open Access (commonly known as The Right to Roam) is now available across England, which means you can walk across certain mapped Access Land. The GOV.uk website provides information for you to search for open access land: https://www.gov.uk/right-of-way-open-access-land
