	Ramblers Association - Footpaths - Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000
		The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 is well-known for introducing a responsible right to roam across areas of open, uncultivated countryside.
		If a right of way is obstructed and the authority fails to deal with the problem, any member of the public will soon be entitled to serve notice on the highway authority asking them to remove the obstruction.
		CRWA 2000 has changed the law to protect the status of bridleways, by placing the onus on the user of the right of way to prove that higher rights exist if they have been attempting to drive along it.

	Essex Wildlife Trust: Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000
		The purpose of the Act is to create a new statutory right of access on foot to certain types of open land, to modernise the public rights of way system, to strengthen nature conservation legislation, and to facilitate better management of AONBs.
		The major implication for public rights of way is that highway authorities are now required to produce a Rights of Way Improvement Plan for their area, taking into account the needs of the public in terms of recreation, exercise, and enjoyment of the countryside, and considering the particular needs of less able people.
		Another significant implication of the Act is that the Definitive Map is to be closed to claims for historical rights of way in 2026, requiring extensive research to be undertaken in the meantime to ensure that highway rights are not inadvertently lost.

		The act does not give new public rights of access to woods and river banks unless they are otherwise on access land, such as moorland or registered common land, but individual landowners may dedicate permanent access over such areas.
