CPRE
CPRE, or the Countryside & Rights of Way Act 2000, is a UK law that helps protect open countryside and natural areas. It grants greater access to the public for walking and exploring on designated land, such as rights of way and open spaces, while also strengthening protections for the landscape and wildlife. The act balances outdoor recreation with conservation efforts, ensuring that natural areas are preserved and accessible for future generations. Overall, CPRE aims to promote enjoyment of the countryside responsibly, supporting sustainable use and protection of rural environments.
