Access here
National Landscape status exists to conserve the landscape. It creates no right to walk, roam or camp: what you may do on the ground is set by the ordinary access law of England, plus any local byelaws and restrictions. Full detail:access rights in England · check a specific grid reference.
The short version for England — right to roam: Right to roam only on mapped CRoW open access land. Wild camping: Permission needed — except on the Dartmoor commons. This is general information, not legal advice.
No listed summits inside the boundary
Our hill list is drawn from the established British and Irish hill lists — Munros, Corbetts, Grahams, Donalds, Wainwrights, Hewitts, Nuttalls and county tops — and no summit inside the Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs boundary appears in it. That is a statement about our dataset, not about the walking: many designated landscapes are valued for coast, downland or moor rather than for summits those lists recognise.
