The BMC - keeping crags open for you
Since its formation in 1944 the BMC has worked in partnership with landowners and countryside organisations to develop access arrangements that appreciate conservation, land management and agricultural interests.
The BMC has two full-time officers and a national voluntary network of 30 Regional Access Representatives who work to ensure the crags remain open for you.
With the CRoW Act (and the increase in statutory conservation powers) now effective throughout much of the country, the BMC's efforts on access and conservation continue to remain of the highest importance. The BMC continues to hold regular liaison meetings with the statutory conservation agencies, Natural England, the National Trust and with the National Park Authorities and many access arrangements now operate in England and Wales.
How do I find out definitive access information?
The 'one-stop-shop' for all the access & conservation info. you need - nesting restrictions, conservation advice, preferred parking etc. - should be the BMC's Regional Access Database (RAD).
