Paths for All (2016) Outdoor Access Design Guide. Path for All ISBN: None #
This is the first revision of the Countryside Access Design Guide, which was published in 2002. The Guide has been updated and renamed to take account of Part 1 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, as well as the Equality Act 2010, British Standards and good practice.
The Guide aims to provide consistent and clear advice on the selection and design of outdoor access furniture and structures, such as gates, fences and boardwalks.

Paths for All, The Sensory Trust (2023) Outdoor Accessibility Guidance, Supporting Inclusive outdoor access in the UK Design Guide. Path for All ISBN: None #
This guide is designed to help make our outdoor places and spaces, routes and facilities more accessible, and outdoor experiences more inclusive. It is written for anyone managing land for public access and recreation, including land managers, community trusts, community groups and volunteers, access and recreation teams and owners. As it covers signage as well as paths this book is also referenced under Signposting and Interpretation.
The guide updates and expands ‘Countryside for All’, the benchmark reference for improving access to the countryside across the UK since it was published in 1997 by The Fieldfare Trust. It is designed as a practical reference with techniques, tools and design details to help people meet, and where possible exceed, their legislative duties under the Equality Act 2010. Weblink
