The rules around Brixham
In England you may walk on public rights of way, on open access land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act, and in woodland the Forestry Commission opens to the public. We hold all three for Devon, and a walk that leaves them is refused before you ever see it.
We have read the dog orders of every council in Devon, and a walk here tells you when it crosses a place an order names.
We checked Devon for military live-firing ground and hold 6 areas of it: Okehampton Range, Merrivale Range, Willsworthy Range, Woodbury Common, MOD Range and Straight Point Ranges. A walk is checked against them before we show it.
