Yn dilyn adolygiad eang ei gwmpas o’r fframwaith deddfwriaethol ar gyfer mynediad a hamdden awyr agored ymgymerodd Llywodraeth Cymru ymgynghoriad yn 2015 ar wella cyfleoedd i gael mynediad at yr awyr agored ar gyfer gweithgareddau hamdden cyfrifol. Archwiliodd y papur ymgynghori'r fframwaith deddfwriaethol presennol ar gyfer mynediad i'r awyr agored ac anogodd drafodaeth ar raddfa amrywiol o opsiynau posibl, gan gynnwys gwneud gwelliannau a dileu rhai o'r cyfyngiadau sy’n bodoli o dan y ddeddfwriaeth bresennol ynghylch mynediad, ymestyn y diffiniad o dir mynediad i gynnwys ardaloedd eraill, a gweithredu fframwaith deddfwriaethol newydd.
Following a broad based review of the legislative framework for access and outdoor recreation, the Welsh Government undertook a consultation in 2015 on improving opportunities to access the outdoors for responsible recreation.  The consultation paper examined the current legislative framework for access to the outdoors and encouraged discussion on a sliding scale of potential options, including making improvements and removing some of the restrictions in place under current access legislation, extending the definition of access land to include other areas and implementing a new legislative framework.
