Find a range of useful leaflets to view and download below. All leaflets are in PDF format.
All the leaflets on this page contain advice for access and rights of way in England and Wales. The law in Scotland and Northern Ireland is very different so for advice on access in those countries, see Northern Ireland or Scotland.
The leaflets with a revised date are checked at least once a year. Older dates only mean that changes have not been needed; the information is still current. If you have a leaflet which is not listed, it has probably been superseded. Contact access@bhs.org.uk for the latest advice (or phone 02476 840515).
