right to roam The right provided by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. If land is designated as access land, the public has the right of access to it for the purposes of open-air recreation. There are statutory powers to extend the rights of access to foreshore and other coastal land. The right of access is limited to access on foot, and there are strong restrictions on activities that may be pursued. For example, there is no right to play organized games, hang-glide, para-glide, hunt, shoot or fish, or swim in nontidal waters. |
