An examination of the complex issues of access, custodianship and conservation, and the age-old beliefs about property that have shaped our relationship with the land for over a thousand years.
Daring to tread where few have trespassed before, ‘Our Land’ asks the timely question of who has the right to roam in the English countryside? The UK is a wild and beautiful place, but the vast majority of it is off limits to the general public, with 92% of land and 97% of all rivers in England not legally accessible. At the same time, it is a landscape shaped by centuries of inheritance and tradition, with land held and cared for by families across multiple generations.
Taking us into the heart of the ‘Right to Roam’ movement, it embarks on a provocative trail of mass trespass, campaigning and education, while also exploring landowners’ concerns around environmental protection and the danger such widespread access could pose to a landscape already under threat.
