Introduction to equestrian access & rights of way (England & Wales)

Introduction to equestrian access & rights of way (England & Wales)
Knowing the law about equestrian use of minor highways (byways, bridleways and footpaths) is important for all who ride or drive horses off-road, helping you to be sure of your rights and responsibilities, to build your confidence.

This course provides an insight to the origins of bridleways and byways, the law and records of rights of way and other access, rights and responsibilities, what to do about blocked or difficult to use bridleways and byways and legal changes that can occur. It is the starter course for our volunteer Access and Bridleway Officers, who are crucial in helping to defend our ability to use public rights of way.
