I think it's great that public walkways are allowed on privately owned land.
"Walkway closed 1 July to 30 September due to lambing.
Beach access safe 2 hrs either side of low tide.
This walkway follows an easement over private land including land once taken by the crown but returned to Ngati Tama (maori tribe) under the Ngati Tama Claims Settlement Act 2003.
Please respect the landowners' properties by keeping to the walkway.
Nice sign. Enough info and history.

ReplyDeleteIt is interesting... in Scotland, there is public right of access even to farmland, assuming correct usage and respect, of course. Given that NZ is the Scotland of the bottom end, I wonder if that in part influenced this? YAM xx
That's very interesting. Hope people take the time to read it!
ReplyDeleteGood one
ReplyDeleteHere in Maine we have land trusts which own part of the hiking area and secure permission from private owners to also cross their property.

ReplyDeleteSeems generous of the owner. Parininihi ... if I can say it, I can walk it. :)
ReplyDeleteI do hope thepublic respect the land
ReplyDeleteAn important sign. I would obey it.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a win-win situation if everybody obeys the sign! I think it's great too.
