This is the fully updated sixth edition of this booklet, helping you to understand your rights and responsibilities in the countryside. It is about the opportunities to see, study and enjoy the countryside found throughout England and about learning to explore the great outdoors on your own.
The booklet offers a detailed explanation of the different kinds of rights of way and areas of country that are open to the public. It also explains who is responsible for maintaining and way-marking rights of way and sets out visitors’ responsibilities when out in the country.
