Exclusive: Campaigners call for Scottish-style rights to reach nature, as figures show ‘hugely unequal’ distribution of access
People have no right to roam at all in 92 constituencies across England, new data shows, as campaigners call for an outdoor access code to link people to nature.
Next week, MPs will debate the “right to roam”, namely the ability to legally and responsibly walk through the countryside, leaving no trace behind. Currently, just 8% of England has this designation, which covers coastal paths, mountains and moorland.
