Countryside Code

Your guide to enjoying parks and waterways, coast and countryside

Respect Everyone

Protect the Environment

• be considerate to those living in, working in and enjoying the countryside
• leave gates and property as you find them
• do not block access to gateways or driveways when parking
• be nice, say hello, share the space
• follow local signs and keep to marked paths unless wider access is available

• take your litter home - leave no trace of your visit
• do not light fires and only have BBQs where signs say you can
• always keep dogs under control and in sight
• dog poo - bag it and bin it - any public waste bin will do
• care for nature - do not cause damage or disturbance
