Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.

Signs? Not at all likely. They would connote an official status that definitely the RSPB do not want to give it, not least because it is outside of its stated charitable objectives (and discourage families from exploring the heath - which is definitely an objective for them) . Also, wherever a beach has official recognition as naturist-friendly you're more likely to find unsavoury activities.
This should blow over, the police have ticked a box in making a visit, we just need to rely on naturists behaving with some sensitivity to other visitors.
Last week walked across the common in the evening and back to the pumping station, 2 hours, only two couples toward the end of it.
We do enjoy a naked walk, but we only ever do it on naturist beaches or resorts such as Charco Del Palo where naked in the street is the norm.
It’s a pity you can’t encourage some women on your walks here, a naked couple or mixed group wouldn’t (I believe) cause the faux outrage and offence taken on behalf of others that one elderly gent can generate.
Signs may be a good idea, if people were aware that it’s perfectly acceptable then they might try it on a warm day.
It would be a wonderful world if being naked were the norm on beaches and the countryside but that seems so far away still. If you or anyone have any suggestions as to how more women can be encouraged on walks then please do go ahead and I agree too that if it were a mixed group then the public would be more accepting to it. In my experience it tends to be males 25-70 that have attacked me verbally (though very few and far between) whilst females don't tend to bat an eye with one commenting ' worst things happen out at sea' or 'wish I was brave enough to do that'...

I’m sorry Dave, I’ve no idea how you can encourage more women to walk.
I follow a few couples on twitter who like to ramble naked, I’ve never heard of a woman or even a group of women who do it.
As it’s only really a problem for single male naturists, then it’s up to them to solve the problem. I realise the difficulty.
Due to the lockdown my previous secluded area walks now often have people in them, not that many but I am coming across more people whilst I'm doing my naked walks than ever before. So far no one has reacted negatively, many just ignore me, some will return a greeting, I never stop and chat anyway. But as others have noted, woman even with kids, seem much more accepting than men.
Playing devils advocate here, but how do you know women and women with kids are more accepting?
Perhaps they are not but just afraid to engage so say nothing.
