Summary

Much is made of open access in Scotland, but what is the reality of the policy in practice, and should England and Wales embrace it? The largest demonstration about land access since the 1930s took place on Dartmoor in 2023. It was organised by the Right to Roam Campaign, which has become a powerful voice in England and Wales - clamouring for open access for all to every acre. In this book, Patrick Galbraith takes us on a tour of the British countryside to investigate the reality of open access - what are the rewards and what are the risks? He follows threads from Dartmoor to London, explores Loch Lomond in Scotland, where the right to wild camping had to be withdrawn due to widespread misuse, and alongside leading Right to Roamer Guy Shrubsole, he visits conservation projects endangered by the R2R campaign.
