Protected areas

7 estates holding 221 places. Grouped by designation, because which kind of estate a place sits in decides what may be done there — a state forest is not a national park, and the register does not treat them as interchangeable.

An estate is where a place is, never a statement that the public may walk in it. Whether there is a lawful way in is answered on each place's own page.

What this page will never do

  • No user pins

    Every fact here traces to a government layer or a statute and carries a grade, A to C. Community names are quarantined at grade D and labelled as such. Nothing on this page was dropped on a map by a stranger.

  • No invented lawfulness

    Where tenure cannot be confirmed from the public record, the page says so instead of endorsing the route or quietly hiding it. Where no lawful corridor exists at all, none is published — the refusal is the answer.

  • No safety pretence

    A tier is a tenure verdict, not a difficulty or safety rating. Unmanaged terrain, cliffs and flash flooding are not in the cadastre. The engine reads land records, not the weather.
