On accepting these terms by clicking the "I accept these terms" button at the bottom of this page, you will be redirected to the Access Maps website (the "Site"), controlled by Natural England. These terms govern your use of the site.

The maps on the Site show the land that is likely to be available for public access on foot under the Countryside and Rights of Way (CROW) Act 2000. You can find out more about the types of land affected and explanations about exceptions and restrictions by clicking on the coloured key to the maps.

The new public rights of access are now all in force throughout England.

Although these maps provide the most up-to-date information about where you can go on access land and where restrictions exist, they should be used in conjunction with an Ordnance Survey Explorer Map. You can also order Ordnance Survey Explorer maps by telephoning 0845 200 2712 (## 44 1233 211108 outside UK). Calls are charged at local rate in the UK.

Please scroll down and read the following terms and conditions carefully. They govern your use of the maps and the associated information on the Site. By accessing the Site, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

Appendix A

Possible limitations on accuracy, completeness and currency of the maps

a) Natural England used its best endeavours to compile, on the basis of the information available to it at the time, accurate and complete maps of open country and registered common land in accordance with its duty under section 4 of the CROW Act. We took full account of representations made to us about the maps at draft stage, and our provisional map reflected our conclusions as to whether particular areas of land should be added or removed. Where subsequent appeals led to further land being removed from the map, the map was modified accordingly at conclusive map stage. Any changes in the nature of the land after the provisional map is issued (or where an appeal was made, after the determination of the appeal) cannot be reflected on the map until Natural England formally reviews it. Natural England is required by section 10 of the Act to undertake such a review at least every ten years.

b) We have no power to correct on our maps any known or alleged errors on the commons register maps.

c) In Mapping Area 1 (covering the South-East of England), the conclusive map does not show East Sussex Registered Common Land at all, because at the time of compilation the registers had been completely destroyed by fire. Now that the East Sussex common land registers have been reconstituted under a local act, we are considering with Defra how best to ensure that access rights are secured and recognised as soon as possible over registered common land in East Sussex.

d) Land that is both on our statutory maps of open country and registered common land, and subject to existing access rights of the type listed by CROW section 15, is included within the yellow access land wash, even though the existing rights while they remain in force prevent the new ones from applying. This is on the basis that all of the section 15 land we include within the yellow wash will offer open access at least on foot.

e) Where the maps reflect data received by Natural England from third parties such as the Ministry of Defence, we have acted in good faith on this data.

f) The maps exclude from the yellow access land wash all land known to be under military byelaws or used for purposes of a racecourse or aerodrome. It is impracticable to exclude in this way the other categories of excepted land listed at CROW Schedule 1, but the explanatory notes to the map legend explain the status of such land.
