What is CROW Section 15?
Section 15 (s15) of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CROW) identifies land where there are rights of access on foot or higher rights, such as horse riding, set up under enactments preceding CROW. S15 provides that, where these enactments are in force, the CROW rights and restrictions do not apply. The effect, therefore, is to preserve the historic access rights and their associated management arrangements.
