Commonly regarded in rural properties where access must stay clear for tractors to gain access to fields. A right of way is one of the most common types of easements, which often provides rights of access to owners of adjoining lands. Easements can also prevent the landowner using it in certain ways, which could interfere with the rights of neighbours. But the general public can also use rights of way, these are known as the right to roam.
Public rights of way exist across many types of privately owned land, in the form of footpaths, bridleways and byways. Landowners must ensure they do not obstruct or interfere with these public rights of way.
