Thousands of stiles could start disappearing from the Welsh countryside
Stiles, so long a staple of the Welsh countryside, could start disappearing under a new financial support scheme for farmers. Landowners can choose to remove them, or replace them with gates, to improve public access to farmland. The Welsh Government hopes this will enable more people to 'enjoy the health and wellbeing benefits of exploring nature and our farmed environment'. Removing stiles is among the many options farmers can choose to implement under the industry's new Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS). Published on July 15, and seven years in the making, the controversial scheme offers greener farm subsidies in return for carrying out environmental work. Other options include installing seats at viewpoints, and erecting information boards. Theses boards could describe local landscape feaures or deliver educational messages, such as the importance of closing gates. Thousands of stiles – steps or ladders over fences and walls – are thought to remain in Wales, though in recent years some have been replaced with kissing gates. Many are iconic features of stone and wire boundaries in Eryri National Park and along the Wales Coast Path. By improving access on farms, ministers say there will be 'fewer barriers to people enjoying the outdoors safely'. Better on-farm signage will also enhance visitor experiences and reinforce messages about the responsible use of the countryside. Farmers can choose to remove stiles only where livestock security is no longer needed – more likely on the hills. Despite this, workshop surveys found that, among Welsh farmers, increasing public access was one of the scheme's least popular goals. Although billed as a way of educating the public about farming, half of all landowners said they would baulk at the idea. A report by ICF Consulting Services noted widespread alarm about the potential for public misbehaviour on farms if they were opened up. It said: 'Strong concerns were raised around biosecurity and negative behaviour associated with greater public access such as fly tipping, increases in rural crime and hare coursing, cutting fences, dogs (and) noisy motorised vehicles.' Neither is Aberconwy Senedd Member Janet Finch-Saunders a fan of the concept. 'The removal of stiles on footpaths could open up farms to the risk of damage from illegal scramble biking, causing additional issues to farmers,' she said. Previous versions of the scheme included proposals to pay farmers for creating new paths. The Ramblers had wanted the SFS to go further, funding farmers to repair existing paths. By excluding this as a scheme option, the group said it was a 'missed opportunity' for the unblocking of 'thousands of miles of routes' in unusable or poor condition. Similarly, the Open Spaces Society had wanted farm funding to be provided only if all rights of way and access were 'in good order'. As a basic SFS requirement, landowners will be expected to continue complying with existing legislation that provides the public with some access to farmland. These include the Public Rights of Way and Countryside Rights of Way (CRoW) Acts. In 2022 Lesley Griffiths, then Rural Affairs Minister, said the scheme's aim was to increase the proportion of public rights of way that are 'open, easy to use and well signed' beyond the legal requirements. With over two thirds of public rights of way in Wales on farmland, the SFS would 'allow farmers to contribute further to our nation's health and prosperity, whilst also providing greater access to our cultural and heritage rural areas', she added. Although the SFS is expected to go live on January 1, 2026, last-minute tweaks are not expected to be finalised until the autumn.

Coed Cadw Welcomes Launch of Wales' Sustainable Farming Scheme
Coed Cadw, the Woodland Trust in Wales, has expressed cautious optimism at the upcoming launch of the Welsh Government's Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS), describing it as a necessary first step in a far longer journey towards a just transition for the people of Wales. It said the SFS marks a significant policy shift in the way land management for public goods is supported in Wales. Whilst more work is needed to fully realise the scheme's potential to deliver on nature, climate, and social ambitions, Coed Cadw said it welcomed the collaborative approach taken during its development and sees it as a crucial foundation for sustainable land use in the years ahead. The charity has been a longstanding contributor to the scheme's evolution, engaging with farmers, environmental partners, and policymakers to help ensure the scheme reflects Sustainable Land Management (SLM) principles. Over the past year, Coed Cadw has seen a positive shift in how stakeholders engage with the scheme's design, and a growing coalition across sectors of organisations and individuals who are committed to ensuring the scheme delivers for people, nature, and climate. Coed Cadw is particularly encouraged by the inclusion of Universal Action 10, which aims to encourage tree and woodland planting tailored to individual farm businesses through the creation of Tree & Woodland Planting Opportunity Plans – the delivery of which will be enabled through financial support in the Optional and Collaborative tiers – meaning farmers can decide how much and where planting is to take place. This farmer-led approach reflects a growing recognition that trees are not in conflict with productivity, but more often than not, enhance business resilience. 'Integrated approaches such as hedgerows, in-field trees, agroforestry, and woodland grazing have the potential to deliver a wide range of benefits without removing land from food production,' Kylie Jones Mattock, Director at Coed Cadw said. 'These measures can improve soil health, boost biodiversity, provide shelter and shade for livestock, and help protect against the impacts of increasingly extreme weather.' The SFS also proposes payments for areas of maintained woodland and natural habitats, which Coed Cadw views as a welcome shift from previous schemes which often excluded wooded areas from financial support. Incentives for early adopters of tree planting and hedgerow creation are seen as another step in the right direction. Coed Cadw emphasises, however, that the scheme must go further if it is to meet its full potential and deliver the additional benefits for nature and climate that are so desperately needed. The charity is calling for robust governance, regular monitoring, and a significant uplift in funding for the scheme's Optional and Collaborative layers — the areas that offer the greatest returns for biodiversity, climate resilience, and public benefit. Additional investment, including blended finance models, will be essential to ensure these elements maximise social, environmental and economic benefits from land management in Wales. Kylie added: 'We welcome the recognition by the Welsh Government that sustainable land management delivers vital public goods—such as clean air and water, carbon storage, and cultural and community wellbeing. Framing these outcomes as a 'social benefit' payment is important, as it reflects the interconnected value of land, people, and place. These are not isolated outputs, but the result of a reciprocal relationship between farmers, nature and society. We would encourage the Welsh Government to continue exploring how sustainable farming contributes across public policy areas, and to ensure that future investment reflects the full value of these contributions. 'By framing this as a 'social benefit' payment, it is vital we retain a clear understanding that these benefits are not isolated outputs but emerge from the reciprocal relationship between land, community, and ecological wellbeing. These dimensions are not separate—they are deeply interconnected. We would encourage the Welsh Government to continue exploring how sustainable land management can contribute across multiple areas of public policy, and to ensure that funding for these benefits is appropriately resourced across departments to reflect their broad and lasting value.'
