Canyoning access is a delicate subject in the United kingdom. As a new sport many local residents to our canyons are (understandably) not in favour of the increased number of canyoneers; making noise, leaving rubbish, using the trees as a toilet, getting changed in public and sleeping in their cars and have been vocal about restricting or removing access permission to these canyons. To prevent future closures there are multiple access agreements for canyons across the country which we publish on the canyons information page. By following the terms of the agreement you are ensuring the future of our canyons. 

Not all canyons have access agreements however the Canyon access guidelines should be followed at all canyons when possible.

CANYON ACCESS GUIDLINES

• When arriving at a canyon location, ensure your vehicle is parked out of the way of traffic and not a hazard to other road users. 
• When parking is in or near a residential area, keep music turned down to reasonable levels and avoid shouting/swearing. 
• When getting changed, look for a private area out of sight of houses and roads. 
• Stay on tracks leading to the start of the canyon and back to the car. If no track is present then avoid damaging plants along the way. 
• Take all the litter you carry back with you.
• Try to only use public toilets and avoid going into the trees.
• Do not sleep in your vehicle near the canyon or in the canyon car park.
