Footpaths and Rights of Way
Please use the following guidance from Defra in order to stay safe when out in the British countryside:
- Stay local and use open spaces near to your home where possible – do not travel unnecessarily.
- Keep more than 1 metre apart from anyone outside your household at all times.
- If you have a garden, make use of the space for exercise and fresh air.
- Take hygiene precautions when you are outside, and wash your hands as soon as you are back indoors.
- If walking your dog in areas used by other people, you should walk your dog on a lead to ensure you can safely keep more than 1 metre away from others. You can find further guidance for pet owners here.
