What about bulls?
Occupiers may not, subject to certain exceptions, keep bulls in fields crossed by public rights of way. The exceptions are bulls not more than 10 months old, or bulls which are not of a recognised dairy breed (currently defined as Ayrshire, British Friesian, British Holstein, Dairy Shorthorn, Guernsey, Jersey and Kerry) and which are accompanied by cows or heifers.

What signs can a landowner erect?
A landowner may not erect misleading signs likely to deter people from using a right of way. For example, a sign "Private Road" placed on a track which is also a byway would be a misleading sign, but not necessarily if it was on a footpath or bridleway.

Is a landowner expected to remove vegetation?
Vegetation Encroachment: Landowners must keep vegetation from encroaching from their land across or above a right of way. This means that hedges and trees may need regular cutting.

What if drainage or other works are required?
Before carrying out any work which might affect a right of way, such as ditch digging, tree planting, building, laying pipes and cables, the County Council must be consulted so that the work can be approved and, if necessary, a licence issued. Landowners should not carry out works on adjacent land which might adversely affect the drainage of a right of way.
