Public rights of way and access land closures

Certain public rights of way and access land are closed where:

• the areas are liable to large numbers of people congregating or being too near each other
• their use poses a high risk of spreading coronavirus within the area

This is to allow people to go outside to exercise in a safe way. It:

• allows the closure of areas prone to crowding
• supports the importance of following social distancing rules. Particularly with people you do not live with, or who are not in your exclusive extended household.

Closure decisions depend on the expertise of the organisations responsible for their management.
