This resulted in the enclosing of 11,000 acres, divided into six 'walks', each with its, own individual lodge and keeper. These enclosures would be progressively laid open, but then replaced by other inclosures. This was to give the new growth of timber the opportunity to grow to a sufficient size so as to be safe from grazing animals. Rights to common of pasture and mining rights would continue to be allowed in the uninclosed lands. This met with considerable opposition from the local people.
