  • Introduction to National Trails Part 1: Their Origins in the UK
    Extract from lecture: Introduction to National Trails Part 1: their origins in the UK Dave McGlade Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail Officer 6th September 2015 Origins in UK: Report of National Parks Committee 1931 (Addison report) In discussing the South Downs: “There would be provided a 70 mile walk along a green ridgeway, through typical English country, with convenient halts and camping sites at regular intervals” (Is this the first documented proposal for a long-distance route in UK?) Source: Daily Telegraph 23rd April 2005 Origins in UK: Report of the Committee on Land Utilisation in Rural Areas 1942 (Scott report) “The principle that the countryside is the heritage of all involves the corollary that there must be facility of access for all” “The recognition of such schemes for main hikers’ highways as the proposed Pennine Way” “The re-opening of the old coastguard path as a right of way for walkers round the whole coastline of England and Wales” Origins in UK: National Parks in England and Wales (Dower report, 1945) “A first main installment of decisions (which should include schemes for the Pennine Way and other long- distance walking routes referred to in the Scott report) should be reached and put into execution as soon as possible”. (p38) Origins in UK: Report of the National Parks Committee 1947 (Hobhouse) “We also attach importance to the provision of long distance paths and bridleways in and between National Parks and Conservation Areas. There should be continuous routes which will enable walkers and riders to travel the length and breadth of the Parks, moving as little as possible on the motor roads.

  • CJS Focus May 19
    Countryside Jobs Service Focus on Recreation In association with the Outdoor Recreation Network 20 May 2019 Sharing Good Practice – People and Dogs in the Outdoors By Dr Elizabeth Rogers The Outdoor Recreation Network recently delivered a seminar on the topic of “People and Dogs in the Outdoors” hosted by Forestry England and The Kennel Club. Over the course of the two days, delegates heard from key policy makers, stakeholders, academics and practitioners about important policy and practice matters relating to the opportunities and management of dogs in the outdoors. The event focused particularly on practical management measures and good practice and facilitated networking opportunities. Delegates greatly appreciated the information sharing and the key learnings from the seminar are summarised below: Dogs are part of the family Whether it’s a trip to the local park or a family holiday, many families will want to take their canine member with them. Since 2010, dog ownership is up 10% and is now at 8.5 million dogs. 26% of homes have a dog and astonishingly over half of all outdoor visits include a People and Dogs in the Outdoors seminar dog.1 delegate pack (Outdoor Recreation Network) For outdoor recreation sites there are commercial benefits to welcoming dogs. These include: Dog owners and families with dogs are a large and growing market; They visit off peak and are less weather dependent; 7,000 assistance dogs help people in ever-more ways.2 Given the importance of dogs to families, the focus should be on managing the demand rather than suppressing it.3 Dogs keep us healthy There are significant physical and mental health benefits from having a dog.
