Rights of Way in England and Wales
We're fighting to maintain and expand public rights of way in England and Wales
We want everyone to be able to enjoy England and Wales’s world-renowned path network.
Shared use – walking and cycling
We are protecting walkers’ rights on the path network as the increased popularity of cycling leads to a growing number of shared use routes.
Disability and public access
Spending time outdoors in nature should be easy, accessible and enjoyable for all. But our paths, tracks and trails are not always accessible to everyone.
Rights of way and cattle
Serious incidents relating to cattle are rare. But when they do occur they can have profound consequences so farmers should minimise the risks to walkers.
Motor vehicles and rights of way
The use of motor vehicles on paths can also spoil the enjoyment of the countryside for walkers. We’d like to see better protection for paths.
A brief history of public rights of way
How our network of public rights of way came to be and why it is so important we protect these ancient routes.
