The Hampshire Countryside Access Forum gives advice on how rights of way and access land should be managed and maintained. It supports Hampshire County Council, Southampton City Council, and Portsmouth City Council, as well as government bodies and user groups.

The forum meets four times a year. Members of the public are welcome to attend, ask questions or share their views.
