The right to roam on open land has many similarities to the right to travel from A to B (which characterises a public highway), but the right to roam is entirely statutory. Mostly, the right is set out in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CRWA 2000). Unlike a highway right, the right to roam needs no origin or destination in its use or definition. The CRWA 2000 was introduced in order to clarify and extend the right of the public to walk across open countryside. The various regulations and restrictions in the legislation are intended to make it clear that walking is permitted, but that the walkers must respect the rights of other users of the countryside.
