<p>With regard to access to the countryside, England has a comprehensive network of
public rights of way and the public has the ‘right to roam’ over many areas of wild,
open countryside. The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 currently provides the
public with a right of access to areas of mountain, moor, heath, down, registered
common land and coastal margin in England. There are no plans to change this.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government recognises the importance of providing access to the outdoors
for people’s health and wellbeing and is committed to ensure that everyone lives within
15 minutes’ walk of a green or blue space. As part of this we are completing work
on the 2,700 mile King Charles III England Coast Path, and delivering the £16m Access
for All programme across our protected landscapes, national trails, forests and the
wider countryside to make access to green and blue spaces more inclusive.</p>
