Help us safeguard our
precious landscape
Did you know that over 98% of land in
the National Park is privately owned?
National Park Authority Rangers have an
important role to play in maintaining the
balance between the needs of residents who
live and work in the National Park and the
desire of visitors to share in the beauty of
this special place.

You can help by following the Ranger Code:
• Keep your dogs under close control,
preferably on a lead.
• Keep to public rights of way and
access areas.
• Avoid trampling meadow grass by staying
in single file through meadows in summer -
grass is winter food for sheep and cattle.
• Leave livestock, crops and machinery alone.
• Take only memories home, not wild flowers
or plants.
• Dress and equip yourself to suit the weather,
the location, the walking conditions and
length of time you are going to be out;
always take the clothing and equipment
you might need.
• Park thoughtfully, and try to use
designated car parks where available.
• Take special care when driving on narrow
roads, especially during lambing time in
April and May.
• Give your car a break - leave the car at
home and use environmentally-friendly
public transport where possible.
• Enjoy the countryside and respect its life
and work.
