What the right to roam covers
Walking, running, watching wildlife and climbing, on foot.
It does not usually cover horse riding, cycling, camping, fires, driving, water sports or taking animals other than dogs. A bridleway or byway across the land, the landowner's permission or a local right may allow some of these.
Some land inside stays private even where the map shades it, such as buildings, gardens and crops.
Some commons have public access under another law instead (section 15 land), where these rules do not apply; their own pages say which.
