Farm footpaths: Getting to grips with rights of way 5 March 2021 | Footfall has rapidly increased on farm footpaths, throwing up new problems for landowners With the last year witnessing heavy traffic on the UK’s rural footpaths, we take a look at some of the issues farmers face surrounding rights of way. Lockdowns have seen more people turning to the countryside for fresh air and exercise, but for farmers this has resulted in an influx of walkers taking to their land. The vast majority of farms will contain some form of footpath, bridleway, or byway. According to the World Bank, over 70% of the UK’s land is in agricultural use, and so inevitably much of this area is crossed by the UK’s 140,000 miles of public rights of way.
