Access Land – Walking Guides for Mapping Area 2
The maps for the lower north-west of England are available to view on the Countryside Agency’s mapping website: www.countryside.gov.uk/access/mapping
The maps are not walking maps and must not be used as definitive evidence about where people can walk. The Conclusive Map only shows Registered Common Land (shaded green) and Open Country (shaded yellow). They do not show categories of land excepted under the new right or land with access rights apart from the Countryside and Rights of Way Act. The Conclusive Map also does not show land dedicated under the 2000 Act or land where restrictions are in place. Further information about this is available on the Countryside Agency’s website: www.openaccess.gov.uk
Ordnance Survey have released maps under the Open Access Agreement. These are their 1:25000 scale Explorer range. Details of those which have already been released, and those yet to be released, can be viewed on the Map Shop section of their website: www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/mapshop
