Does anybody out there know for certain whether the fells above Windermere and Coniston are common land?
"The Countryside Agency is preparing maps of all open country and registered common land in England (the Countryside Council for Wales is carrying out the same task in Wales). This is a statutory duty under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000."
"The final conclusive map was issued on 16th August 2005. Access rights for the whole of England came in to force on 31st October 2005."
