"The CROW Act gives us a wonderful opportunity to increase responsible recreational enjoyment in Cumbria; the LAF will help to ensure that we do not let such an opportunity slip through our fingers."
Duncan Graham CBE
Chairman, Cumbria Local Access Forum (2004-10)
Welcome
The Cumbria Local Access Forum (Cumbria LAF) is a statutory advisory body. Its role is to provide advice on countryside access in Cumbria (outside the National Parks). The Forum advises the Local Authorities on providing rights of access to the open countryside, since the Countryside and Rights of Way (CROW) Act became law in 2000.
We hope that you find this site useful and that it will help you enjoy what Cumbria has to offer.
