Peak Moorland closures 17 May to 18 June 2021
Landowners are permitted to close areas of access land for 28 days a year for any of a number of reasons (and can be at short-notice).
Several large areas of open access land in the Peak District will be closed, mostly weekdays from 17 May to 18 June (exceptions: closed 29/30 May, open Mon 31 May).
Public rights of way are supposed to remain open throughout but it may be best to avoid the areas anyway.
The current Peak District closures list can be found here it includes several areas we frequent so it’s worth checking when planning any moorland walks, especially between now and 18 June as several moors are closed for the same dates.
Also visit the Links page for more relevant information on rights of way etc. Remember too that moorland access may be restricted at short notice during Grouse shooting season (12 Aug- early Dec)
