Please check before you visit that the area you want to come to is not closed, because of work in progress or an event taking place, by logging on to the CCW Website for current and future closures as determined by the CRoW 2000 Act. Where ever possible, Forestry Commission Wales aims to organise operations to minimise the disruption to Public Rights of Way, and will only make a formal closure/diversion application, when a CRoW closure is in operation, if there is a Health & Safety risk. Temporary closure of ROWs under Section 33 may also be necessary when some events are taking place. If you are unsure as to whether a right of way is closed, please contact you local government authority highways department before visiting. On site signage will also tell you whether rights of way are open or closed.
