Open Access - Other Statutory Access Land (CRoW Act)

The CRoW Act provides for public access on foot to certain types of land, amends the law relating to public rights of way, increases measures for the management and protection for Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and strengthens wildlife enforcement legislation, and provides for better management of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Under Section 4 of the CRoW Act it states the following: It shall be the duty of the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW now forms part of Natural Resources Wales (NRW)) to prepare, in respect of Wales, maps which together show; (a) all registered common land, and (b) all open country.
This dataset contains all Common Land with a higher right of access (Urban Commons, Commons with Deeds for Access, 1899 Commons Act) for areas of Wales, and Elan Valley Estate. This dataset does not include the Registered Common Land dataset. Digitisation took place in 2014 for all Wales. When using this data for Open Access, it should be used in conjunction with Open Country, Registered Common Land and Public Forests from the same years. Contact your local authority for access to and information about Registers of Common Land.

《CRoW 法案》旨在确保公众可步行进入特定类型的土地，修订与公共通行权相关的法律，加强针对具有特殊科学价值的地点（SSSI）的管理和保护措施，并强化野生动物执法立法，同时提供对杰出自然美景区域（AONB）的更好管理。根据《CRoW 法案》第四条的规定，乡村委员会（现为自然资源威尔士（NRW）的一部分）有责任为威尔士制定地图，这些地图共同展示了以下内容：(a) 所有已登记的共有土地，以及 (b) 所有开放乡村地区。该数据集包含威尔士地区以及伊兰山谷地产所有享有较高通行权的共有土地（城市共有地、有通行权证书的共有地、1899 年共有地法案中的共有地）。本数据集不包括已登记的共有土地数据集。2014 年对所有威尔士地区进行了数字化处理。在使用这些数据用于开放式通行时，应与同年份的开放乡村、已登记的共有土地和公共森林数据相结合。如需获取有关共有土地登记册的访问和信息，请联系当地政府。
