ⓘ RIGHT TO ROAM Depuis toujours, une très grande partie des plus beaux endroits de la campagne britannique est interdite au public et pendant des siècles, les propriétaires terriens ont tout fait pour que la situation reste inchangée. Cependant, en mai 2000, le gouvernement travailliste introduisit le "right to roam" qui devrait ouvrir aux promeneurs plus d'1,6 million d'hectares de campagne et environ 6400 kilomètres de droits de passage. De nombreux propriétaires terriens ont exprimé leur mécontentement car ils estiment que les promeneurs abîment les cultures et perturbent le bétail mais avec les nouvelles propositions de loi, ils ne pourraient interdire le passage sur leurs terres que 28 jours par an au maximum.
