Looking after access
We look after access land, work with the Highway Authorities to manage and improve the public rights of way network, and provide access for all through our Miles without Stiles easy access routes We support the Local Access Forum as the statutory adviser on access and recreation matters in the National Park.
Getting involved
We rely on funding, donations, and volunteers to support us in carrying out access improvements. If you would like to contribute to you can do this by making a donation to the Path and Trails Fund or by volunteering with the Peak Park Conservation Volunteers, as a Volunteer Ranger, or with the Local Access Forum.
