Fields with crops
Fields with arable or grass crops, including ploughing and harvesting.
Responsible behaviour by the public
The Access Code says:
When exercising access rights in a field of crops, avoid damaging the crop by:
- Using any paths or tracks
- Using the margins of the field (if the margin is narrow or has been planted, avoid causing unnecessary damage by keeping close to the edge in single file)
- Going along any unsown ground (providing this does not damage the crop)
- Considering alternative routes on neighbouring ground.
Responsible behaviour by land managers
The Access Code says:
Leaving uncultivated margins can help people to exercise access rights responsibly and help to support wildlife so it makes sense, wherever possible, to do this.
