Abstract
Looks at the implementation of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 which includes provisions to introduce the regime of more open access to the countryside (the 'right to roam'). Looks at maintaining a balance between the needs of those who work on the land and those who seek access to the land for recreation purposes. Discusses concerns relating to delays to the mapping process and additional money allocated to local authorities to implement the Act.
