The field of public rights of way and access is much broader than is generally assumed and the podcast will meet people in a wide variety of interesting roles. In this episode, member Dr Tom Breen, a landscape historian, joins us to talk about In All Our Footsteps, which explores how rights of way were recorded following Parliament’s requirement to do so in 1949, and the importance of rights of way in relation to access to nature and activities integral to human health and wellbeing, both in the past and the present. It is a cross-disciplinary project taking a historical, health, and policy perspective to the mapping, use and development of rights of way in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.  on In All Our Footsteps. Dr Breen provides training for IPROW on use of historical landscape records arising from inclosure, tithe commutation and the Finance Act 1910 for research into the existence of public rights of way.The views of speakers and the presenter are not necessarily those of IPROW.
