Open Country

Open Country is a charitable organisation. We aim to enable anyone with a disability to access and enjoy the countryside. We run a range of activity groups including, walking, cycling, outdoor pursuits, practical conservation work and nature study. We also run a countryside access advice service and produce a number of countryside access publications.

Open Country’s Breakfree packs for Harrogate District and Wharfedale are easy access routes which can be enjoyed by children, cyclists and people with disabilities, including wheelchair users. The packs have clear, colour maps for each location, with all the information you need to help plan your day, and enjoy the outdoors.
