What help and advice can you get?

Booklets

You can get a comprehensive guide called 'Managing Public Access' from CCW and also as advice sheets from www.ccw.gov.uk. This will be published at the end of 2004. A shorter booklet with general guidance on managing access is available from the summer of 2004.

For advice and help about specific areas or rights of way

Contact your local authority's warden service, countryside or rights of way department, or relevant National Park Authority for help, support and advice.

For advice about powers under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000

Contact CCW or your National Park Authority.

For advice about managing access in woodlands

You should deal with the Forestry Commission if you have dedicated woodland as access land under section 16 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. The Forestry Commission can also advise you about managing access in any woodland.

For copies of the Countryside Code call our enquiry line.

You can get more information and publications on access from the CCW enquiry line on 0845 1306 229 and from www.ccw.gov.uk

This guidance is published by the Countryside Council for Wales.
