This is National Trust land to which the public has access on foot only – either by right (in the case of designated ‘Access Land’ under the Countryside (Rights of Way) Act 2000 (CRoW)) or by permission from the National Trust.

Rights over Access Land are limited by CRoW and may be further restricted or excluded due to particular land management reasons.

  • horse riding
  • cycling
  • camping
  • taking animals other than dogs onto the land
  • driving a vehicle (except mobility scooters)
  • water sports

Footpaths and bridleways may cross areas of Always Open land - the Always Open designation does not impact upon this access.

Data has been captured at approximately 1:50,000 scale and as such is not intended to show detailed ownership boundaries.

Areas shown as Always Open may contain areas of 'excepted land' such as buildings, gardens and cropped fields. Excepted land is still out of bounds to the public even if it appears within Always Open land.
