Landowners’ responsibilities
You are responsible for making sure people can access the public rights of way on your land. This includes making sure they’re clear of crops and overhanging plants and looking after stiles and gates, as well as managing any livestock. You need to get permission from us to put up any new structures, but not to make repairs.
