This NFU Business Guide provides information on the King Charles III England Coast Path and how it is likely to affect landowners.
This guide covers:
- the process that Natural England must follow when creating sections of the England Coast Path;
- the maintenance of the England Coast Path;
- the access rights that the public will have over your land; and
- how best you can manage the safety of those members of the public when they are accessing your land.
The NFU would recommend that you seek advice from a land agent and/or solicitor, in the event that you are approached by Natural England with proposals relating to the England Coast Path.
