An independent body established in 1968 to promote the conservation and improvement of the countryside in England (and formerly in Wales) and to encourage the provision of facilities for public recreation and enjoyment.

A separate body, the Countryside Commission for Scotland, was set up in 1967 and subsumed by Scottish National Heritage in 1992. In 1999 the Countryside Commission merged with the Rural Development Commission to form the Countryside Agency.
