A [[forest road]] is a type of rudimentary access road, built mainly for the [[forest industry]]. In some cases they are used for [[backcountry]] recreation access.

There is open access to most [[Forestry Commission]] roads and land in Great Britain for walkers, cyclists and horse riders and, since the Countryside Bill of 1968, it has become the largest provider of outdoor recreation in Britain.<ref name="largestOutdoor">{{Cite web |url=http://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/INFD-76ZL3L |title=The Forestry Commission |publisher=[[Forestry Commission]] |access-date=9 June 2012 |archive-date=30 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131030153556/http://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/infd-76zl3l |url-status=live }}</ref> The commission works with associations involved in [[Ramblers|rambling]], cycling, mountain biking and [[horse riding]] to promote the use of its land for recreation. The trails open to the public are not just forest roads. A notable example of the commission's promotion of outdoor activity is the [[7stanes]] project in Scotland, where seven purpose built areas of mountain bike trails have been laid, including facilities for disabled cyclists.<ref name="disabledBikers">{{Cite news |last=Michael Lloyd |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4280277.stm |title=Trails open up to disabled bikers |date=19 February 2005 |work=[[BBC News]] |access-date=14 June 2012 |archive-date=8 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210208132549/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/4280277.stm |url-status=live }}</ref>
