Access

There are many opportunities for recreational access in the Peak District National Park ranging from:

• Extensive public rights of way network
• Areas of Access Land
• Miles without Stiles easy access routes
• Traffic-free Trails
• Multi-user Green Lanes
• Peak Permissive Paths.

Looking after access

We look after access land and help the Highway Authorities to manage and improve the public rights of way network. We aim to provide access for all through Miles without Stiles. We support the Local Access Forum as the statutory adviser on access and recreation.
