1st November 2005 - T. Wyn Jones

This right, for which people have been campaigning for over 100 years, allows people to walk freely across mapped access land without the need to stick to paths.

This equates to approximately 8% of the total land, whereas in Wales an incredible 21% or 450,000 hectares will have been opened up as a result of this legislation, which came into effect in May of this year.
