Access Restrictions

The new right of open access does not include cycling, horse riding, driving a vehicle or camping, but where these activities already take place (for example on an existing bridleway), they are unaffected.

You may enjoy a picnic, but please enjoy access responsibly. You may not light a fire, feed any animals, leave litter, or do any damage.

The areas opened up in the Broads under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act are heathland or registered common land.

Access land is shown on the website www.countrysideaccess.gov.uk and on new Ordnance Survey Explorer maps.

Dogs - the new right requires you to keep your dog on a lead of no more than 2 m long between 1 March and 31 July (the main breeding season for ground nesting birds) and at any time of year near livestock. Specific local restrictions may also be in place. Please look out for notices.
