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.
