Responsible Access
|
Freedom to walk on access land comes with responsibilities. Many of these have been outlined in the new Countryside Code, which was launched in July 2004. In particular, the Code reminds people visiting all
countryside to:
Visitors to access land are responsible for their own
safety, and for taking care of any children or dogs who accompany
them. They must not light (or cause) a fire, feed any animals,
leave litter or do any damage.
Full details of the Countryside
Code can be found on the
Natural England website.
In the Nidderdale AONB the majority of open access land is on
heather moorland. In order to protect these very special habitats a
'Moorland Visitor's Code' (PDF
408KB) is available.
