The Countryside Code


It's not just the Fat Tuesday Music Festival 2022 (blog) that is being blessed by gorgeous weather, but you may well take advantage with a lovely walk in the countryside this weekend, for example, in Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve (above). But are you aware of The Countryside Code? If not, here are the salient points; for more detail see the The Countryside Code itself online (website):

Respect other people

  • Consider the local community and other people enjoying the outdoors 
  • Park carefully so access to gateways and driveways are clear
  • Leave gates and property as you find them
  • Follow paths but give way to others where it is narrow

Protect the natural environment 

  • Leave no trace of your visit, take all your litter home
  • Do not have BBQs or fires
  • Keep dogs under effective control 
  • Dog poo – bag it and bin it

Enjoy the outdoors

  • Plan ahead, check what facilities are open, be prepared
  • Follow advice and local signs and obey social distancing measures
