Abstract
This dataset shows land designated as Open Access land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CROW) over which the public have a right of access. This includes areas of land identified as being mountain, moor, heath, and down; registered common land; and land over which the owner has formally dedicated as open access. Dedicated forests have been excluded from this dataset as existing woodlands have been excluded from the overal Woodland Opportunity Map as a constraint (woodland already exists). Woodland Creation on such land must ensure that access to the land concerned is not impeded. Existing statutory Rights of Way should not be planted on and informal paths or desire lines should be kept unplanted to allow continued access. Proposals on access land will require consultation with the local authority access team. For more information and contacts, see GN002.
