THE Youth Hostels Association is calling for a speedy opening of the countryside for public recreation.
YHA chief executive Roger Clarke said: "Government should put into practice the Prime Minister's statement that the countryside is open.
"The closure of rights of way etc continues to have a devastating impact on our work."
Malvern Hills Youth Hostel, in Peachfield Road, is open.
