User rights and responsibilities
The public's right over a highway is a right of passage for the purpose of passing and repassing. Path users must keep strictly to the line of the path and must not loiter.
On public rights of way you can:
- Take a pram, pushchair or wheelchair if practical
- Take a dog (on a lead or under close control)
- Take a short, reasonable detour to get round any illegal obstruction.
Wherever you go, do not forget the country code:
- Be safe, plan ahead and follow any signs
- Leave gates and property as you find them
- Protect plants and animals and take your litter home
- Keep dogs under close control
- Consider other people
