Campaigning work: The Association works tirelessly defending and promoting access for walkers and was at the forefront of the implementation of The Countryside and Rights of Way (CRoW) Act. The next great cause is for coastal access: the right to walk along beaches, clifftops and foreshore. Campaigns in Derbyshire: ... each group has a dedicated footpath warden and a team of parish wardens to ensure local paths are usable and rights of way are protected.
