Public Rights of Way Public Rights of Way can have an impact on the management of land. The CLA is actively involved in protecting landowner and rural business interests. The legislation which governs footpaths, bridleways, restricted byways and Byways Open to All Traffic (BOATS) is complex, and landowners often require advice. The CLA Access Team can provide advice on Public Rights of Way across the spectrum of issues - including how such rights are claimed, management, diversion, and extinguishment. The issues that members raise with the CLA on Public Rights of Way help inform the lobbying effort. NewsJeremy Clarkson has lost his attempt to keep the public out of his land on the Isle of Man. He argued that the path the public was using was not a right of way, but a permissive path and that permission to use it was withdrawn. Ramblers argued that it had been used by the public for over 21 years and that a right of way had therefore been established. Read The Daily Telegraph's account.
