‘Access land’ should not be regarded as offering unlimited access. Some areas are indeed open all the time, but others are ‘restricted’, and can be closed for various reasons, including grouse shooting and the movement of animals. Access land on the Reivers Way will either be available to walkers all of the time, or at least most of the time, so it will usually be possible to stay high and follow Harold Wade’s original route. Just in case the land is closed for any reason, the low-level detours made by Roberts serve as alternative routes. It is possible to check in advance whether access land is open or closed by going to www.countrysideaccess.gov.uk. It is also likely that notices will be posted at the main access points indicating the nature of any closures.
