Regulations

You are invited to quietly enjoy Long Lane Pasture. Please respect the environment and take care to keep any disturbance to a minimum. The following Regulations, made under clause 3.20 of the Trust Deed of Long Lane Pasture Trust (LLPT), are aimed at protecting the site for the benefit of both its visitors and its wildlife residents.

Opening times

Opening times vary. We try to keep the pasture open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to dusk. The Pasture may be closed in winter due to adverse weather conditions and flooding. LLPT may close or restrict access from time to time. Groups may visit the Pasture by arrangement at other times.

Vehicles and Equipment

No vehicle or equipment, whether power driven or not, may be brought onto the Pasture without the prior permission of LLPT. This general prohibition on vehicles and equipment includes, but is not confined to, lorries, cars, motorbikes, bicycles, roller skates and skateboards. Wheelchairs or similar for people with disabilities are permitted.

Food and Drink

Visitors may bring and consume food and drink on the Pasture provided this does not involve cooking or result in nuisance or litter. No person under the age of 18 years may consume alcohol on the Pasture.

Animals and Wildlife

The following are not permitted:

  1. Introducing any creature or plant into the pond or elsewhere.
  2. Planting, removing, pruning or otherwise tending any plant.
  3. Disturbing the wildlife.
  4. Dogs and pets must be kept on a lead at all times.

Nuisance

Only activities which do not cause a nuisance to other visitors, Pasture neighbours or LLPT, or disturbance to wildlife are permitted.

The following are not permitted:

  1. Depositing rubbish or polluting material, except in the waste bins.
  2. Any commercial act such as displaying, selling or hiring goods or services.

  13. Any illegal act.

Breach of Regulation

Anyone breaching these regulations may be asked to leave the Pasture and/or be banned from entering the Pasture again at the discretion of LLPT or its agents. Persons who do not obey the signs on the Pasture or the reasonable instructions from LLPT or its agents may be removed by reasonable force.
