Countryside Safety Tips

We would like to remind people to take care if they are visiting the countryside.

If you are planning a visit to our National Parks or the countryside  please make sure you follow the countryside code:

• Leave gates and property as you find it
• Keeps dogs under control
• Stick to paths unless wider access is available
• Don’t have BBQ or fires

Please also take care to dispose of cigarettes and glass bottles carefully as these can cause fires.

Remember that with the current national COVID lockdown restrictions, not all facilities may be open so plan ahead.

Every year we attend grass and wild fires that are started accidentally by people having barbecues on grass or through campfires that have spread. You can help us reduce these types of fire by listening to our advice and sharing it with friends and family. If you spot a fire in the countryside please report it to us by dialling 999.
