- Leave ALL gates as you find them; if open leave OPEN; if closed leave CLOSED.
- Keep your dogs under complete control at all times, respecting livestock.
- Keep to public paths, bridleways and “green tracks” across farmland and woodland.
- Use gates and stiles to cross fences, hedges and walls, do not force through, even if you have the right of way; report it.
- Leave livestock, crops and machinery and alone, and respect wildlife flora and fauna.
- Take your litter/rubbish home; this includes clearing up after your dog!! Help to keep all water-ways clean and free from rubbish and pollution.
- Be very careful on country roads, walk facing the traffic crossing over only on right hand bends so traffic can see you at all times.
- Do not make any more noise than is necessary for what you are doing.

Coast Path Safety Code
Take care on the Coast Path – it’s rugged, natural terrain. Please follow the Coast Path Safety Code:
- Keep to the path, away from cliff edges and overhangs.
- Always supervise children, especially near cliff edges.
- Walking surfaces can vary considerably with the weather. Always wear strong footwear with a good grip.
- Wear or carry warm and waterproof clothing.
- Cliff-top walking can be dangerous in high winds.
- Beware of taking shortcuts across beaches – you may be cut off by the tide. Swimming can also be dangerous.
- Do not sit under cliffs or climb them.
- Keep dogs under close control.
- Remember – the Coast Path is for walkers. Most of its length is not suitable or safe for cycling or horse riding.
