Right to Roam
Campaigning to unlock access to nature in England & Wales. 🌳🥾🌱
📗WILD SERVICE: Why Nature Needs You

The news is well and truly out! This spring sees the release of a new feature documentary about the fight to defend and extend access to nature in England and Wales.
OUR LAND, directed by @orbanwallace and shot by the team at @gallivantfilm, follows the Right to Roam campaign as we trespass large estates and challenge the removal of rights on Dartmoor and beyond. Interwoven throughout are the perspectives of three aristocratic landowners, exploring the debates, tensions and fraught history of land ownership and land access in the UK.
It’s a thoughtful and beautifully made film. It’s not for the campaign – the directors are not taking a stance. But in our view, the facts speak for themselves!
There will be preview screenings in cinemas across the country from early March to early May, followed by a national release (and hopefully a streaming platform to follow). With the help of our local group network, we’ll be attending as many screenings as possible for post-film Q&As.
Watch the trailer and find a preview screening near you via the link in our description.
Booking links and additional screenings will be updated regularly by the distributors.
Go along, watch the film, talk about it with friends and family, and share the trailer wherever you can!

How to trespass 🥾
Trespassing often doesn’t come naturally, as it goes directly against the grain of what’s been conditioned within us all: stick to the paths, obey signs, and respect boundaries.
We’ve gone back to basics to talk through some core principles and ideas to follow, so you can interact respectfully with the world around you whilst you roam.
Trespassers will not be prosecuted - trespass is a civil matter, not a criminal one. It’s a dispute between you and the landowner (but there are a few caveats!)
Keep it civil - trespass can become criminal if you cause damage, disrupt lawful activity, behave threateningly, use vehicles to reside, or enter specially protected sites (under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005)
Follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code (SOAC) - in Scotland there’s presumed access to land and water, with a few sensible exceptions. Follow the SOAC to respect privacy, take responsibility for your safety and the environment, and don’t disrupt land management.
Leave a positive trace - Go beyond “leave no trace”. Care for the land, pick up litter, respect genuine conservation exclusions, and report environmental harm.
Leave your dog at home - Dogs can disturb wildlife and livestock and cause real ecological harm. We believe a future Right to Roam Act should go alongside new regulations and educational measures for dog owners, so until this is in place, please walk your dog only where rights already exist to do so.
Be polite - Stay calm and de-escalate. Remember that farmers and land managers face their own pressures and concerns, and some may react based on negative past encounters with the public.
Managing confrontation - Say hello, explain why you’re there, accommodate real concerns, and find common ground in care for the land.
Act as if you’re already free - Nobody gave us the rights we have today. They were fought for, or emerged from customary practices which survived because people defended them. Rights come into being when we believe in them, exercise them, and fight for their recognition in law. Moving through land with care and confidence helps make shared access visible, and possible.

It has always been about land.
It will always be about land.
Always land, and never people.
Land for power and land for profit.
As a campaign we try to stay focused on access to nature in the UK. The world is full of injustice and trying to grapple with all of it is overwhelming. We aim to change what we can.
Still, it has felt increasingly jarring and, at times, hollow, to talk about access to land in the UK while innocent people are deliberately starved, bombed, shot and burned before our very eyes in Gaza, while others are murdered in the West Bank, and a major ecological catastrophe unfolds without comment. Nothing feels right, normality is tainted.
We are a land justice campaign. But the reality is there is no equivalence between the problems we face in Britain and what Palestinians are experiencing every day, where death rains from the sky and people are shot while attempting to secure meagre rations to keep their children alive. In addition to the massive civilian casualties much of Gaza’s agriculture has been wiped out, eighty percent of its trees have been destroyed, its soils trashed, and its aquifers contaminated with saline and sewage. Seawater has been weaponized. The human and environmental costs are intolerable. All of this was a choice.
The restrictions we are familiar with here - barbed wire, limited rights, occasional aggression - are significant in our lives. But they’re minor compared to restrictions on life in Palestine. The West Bank has been carved up by giant walls and military checkpoints. Illegal settlements pockmark the landscape; the “security zones” around them ever-expanding. Whole villages in the Hebron hills have been rebranded as a military firing zone.
The result is that the simple acts of landscape love we treasure like foraging, walking and swimming are, for Palestinians, shadowed by violence, arrest or death. This week, in a small but significant act of cruelty, the Israeli military issued an edict against Gazans entering their own sea. A simple paddle can now be fatal.

Not all barriers to nature are barbed wire fences or “keep out” signs. Sometimes they are quieter than that, questions of belonging, confidence, and simply asking: “Will I be welcome?”
In this beautiful reflection, @toqueer01writes about visiting the Peak District for the first time, and the joy, fear and wonder of finally experiencing the landscape he had dreamed about since childhood.
“There really is a place called heaven and it’s at the Peak District in a town called Edale.”

Our newsletter dives deeper into all these issues, from who owns England, to why so much nature remains inaccessible, and the growing movement working to change it.
Every month we cover access news and research findings, campaign updates and local actions, hidden land stories and much more.
From defending wild camping on Dartmoor, to reconnecting communities with ancient trees and uncovering the realities of land ownership in Britain, we believe nature should be open to everyone.
If you want to understand what’s really happening to our land, and what people are doing about it, join the Right to Roam newsletter via the link in bio.
Newsletter readers will also get first access, and a little discount, to something we’ve been quietly working on… more soon 👀🖼️
And if you’d like to support the campaign directly, you can become a monthly subscriber from £5 a month, or make a one-off donation. Every contribution helps keep the movement growing.

If you want clear, practical guidance on safe and responsible swimming, the Outdoor Swimming Society has excellent resources worth reading.

Our next walk and social event – Sunday 28 June, Trowse (south-east of Norwich) – walk followed by picnic and optional swim and more – it will be lovely! And also will illustrate the precariousness of permissive and informal access to these important natural spaces on the edges of our cities, so important for recreation, health, well-being and more, yet so many places are not accessible – or they are but then are taken away at a whim!
This waterway is navigable so access to it shouldn't be denied, but sometimes you can't get to the banks of our rivers.

Booking link for the event in our bio/linktree or in comment. We'll be able to send updates to those that book and that gives an idea of numbers. All welcome, but no dogs.
Nick Hayes joined jeremy vine on BBC radio alongside Francis Fulford for a conversation that took a turn towards Wild Service.
From litter picking, community building, habitat restoration and the removing of invasive species, Nick argues that people can pay for access to nature in ways that go far beyond money.
Shockingly, we may have found some common ground.
Because at the root of what Francis goes on to describe - communities volunteering, caring for the land, and giving something back in return for access, sounds an awful lot like...the commons, does it not?
📬 To dive deeper into these ideas, from land access and ownership, to wild service and the commons, follow the campaign and sign up to our newsletter via the link in our bio, where we will keep exploring these conversations and the common ground they reveal

We absolutely love reading your stories and getting to share them with our community, so please do keep sending them to us! We created a quick and easy form to fill in that is linked in our bio if you would like to share your story.
This is a campaign built on community. Without you, we wouldn't be able to do the work we do without you. Together, we can shape a new future for access in this country. One that feels more open. Inclusive and connected for everyone.
This week, we got to hear from the wonderful Paige about her thoughts, experiences, and what a right to roam means to her...
Here is a little more about Paige:
'I'm a lover of the outdoors, good coffee and the theatre. All the world's a stage but we don't have access to it and that needs to change.
At work, I'm embedded in the charity sector, currently working for a gender diversity charity and previously working with young people to empower themselves to take charge of their futures. The word 'empower' underpins everything I do in my working life, isn't that beautiful?
More importantly, away from work, I spend as much time absorbing the arts scene in London or venturing into green spaces wherever possible. If not, I'll be in the gym!"

Why we need the Right to Roam:
50% of the land in England is owned by just 1% of the population.
73% of woodland in England has no public access.
We have partial right to roam over only 8% of England.
We are still banned from 92% of land, and 98% of waterways in England by law of trespass.
@right.2roam @earthrise.studio @our_land_documentary @right2roam.ne @righttoroam.westmids @right2roamsheffield @right2roamstoke @right_to_roam_dorset @right2roamnw @righttoroam_wiltssomerset @patagoniamanchester
For generations, a small number of landowners have controlled vast stretches of England’s countryside, and with it, who gets to access nature.
Today, just 8% of England has a legal Right to Roam.
We’re trying to change that.
The Right to Roam campaign is fighting for a fair access law for England & Wales, one that opens up nature responsibly, with protections for wildlife, farming, and the land itself.
But right now, this campaign is being kept alive by around 500 monthly supporters.
And it’s not enough on its own.
We’re now aiming to double our support by gaining 500 new monthly supporters. That extra backing would let us properly ramp up campaigning in the crucial months ahead, instead of just keeping things afloat.
A subscriber is someone who donates a set amount each month (you choose what you can afford). Even just the price of a pint a month can make all the difference to the campaign.
If you can’t commit to a monthly amount, you can also give a one-off donation.
A healthier campaign fund is what helps us plan ahead, scale up, and actually take on well-funded opposition.
A big thank you to all those who are already donating to the campaign. We couldn’t do this work without you. As a thank you, we’ve been working on some special perks to give to subscribers. Stay tuned to find out more about this soon 🖼️
If you want to help unlock access to nature for everyone, follow the link on this reel or in our bio to donate to the campaign.
