Do not walk through fields that have crops planted or growing, keep to the edge and restrict the width to single file if the cultivation is close to the fence boundary.
If you have to climb gates or fences do so carefully and for gates do it at the hinge end.
Keep dogs under close control and on a lead when stock is present try to separate them from the field with the stock.
Dogs should not be allowed in fields where vegetables or fruit are being grown unless there is a defined path and dog owners should always clear up any faeces.
A grass field being grown for silage is regarded as a field with a crop once the height is 20 cm or 8 inches, as such should not be parked on or walked through.
Walkers must take all litter home.
Walkers needing to attend to human requirements should do so away from open water and if defecating they should bury it in a shallow hole as far from any civilisation as possible.
Walkers need to respect natural and cultural heritage and in particular also recognise that they can disturb breading bird and unset gaming activities at certain times of the year.
Walkers also need to respect any temporary restrictions that the land manager may impose due to land management work such as forestry
harvesting, agricultural work, repair to land etc.
It is also the land managers requirement to act reasonably when asking walkers to avoid land operations, to direct walkers to alternative routes and to minimise the time of restriction.
