In Woking Borough we are lucky to have a diverse range of countryside, town and village environments. Enabling access to our natural habitats and wildlife while enjoying the benefits this brings to our own health and well-being is important. However, we must balance this with a need to ensure we protect our local biodiversity for its own sake and so that future generations can enjoy it too.

Natural England has recently updated The Countryside Code – your guide to visiting the countryside. It includes the rules you must follow when you’re enjoying parks, waterways and countryside. It’s available to read online or download as a PDF leaflet.
