Countryside access for disabled people

Visiting the countryside can have a positive affect on your health and having a disability shouldn’t prevent you enjoying these benefits. Local authorities are responsible for providing access for all disabled people. Find out more about disabled people’s right to explore the countryside and information on where to go.

Your rights as a disabled person

If you have a disability, then physical barriers should not limit where you can visit in the countryside. These include fences, steps and stiles or uneven surfaces.

Every provider of facilities and services has a duty to improve access by making ‘reasonable adjustments’. These adjustments are designed to help disabled people with restricted mobility, learning difficulties and sensory impairments to use the service or facilities. They could apply to more than physical barriers. For example, reasonable adjustments could be needed to information leaflets, or signage about access to areas of countryside.
