Woodland With No Way Of Finding The Owner

Sorry if not clear. We have the right of way on our deed from 160 yrs ago and this right has been exercised daily over that period. That makes us feel safe that we won't lose those rights.

 

The trees overhang the railway line so the rail company will maintain them. I agree that if it wasn't a railway ie just gardens or fields then nobody would maintain them. Just making the point that not all unregistered land is an issue. May just be the way that works best for people locally.

Nothing to worry about. You can’t lose a ROW through lack of use.

It's a good idea to register the right - it will have no impact at all on anything to do with the tree maintenance. It could prevent you having to 'claim' the right if future (or current) owner of the strip attempts to stop access.

 

Registering a right isn't the same as registering the land. Still, it doesn't sound like it's a major issue.
