Rights of Way Summary

Rights of Way: Policy, Culture and Management by Charles Watkins

This work explores the theme of public access to the countryside, through the eyes of a variety of commentators and researchers. In many parts of Britain the combination of agricultural intensification and increased traffic on roads means fewer pleasant and safe places to walk in the countryside. The need to find new uses for agricultural land, the social change taking place in rural areas, and the growing demand for the consumption of the rural heritage, signal dramatic changes in access to the countryside. These issues are discussed under three main sections: policy, culture and management.
