Yesterday (November 16th), a group of walkers, wild swimmers, canoeists and river guardians went to explore a stretch of the River Avon. Flowing from source (The Vale of Pewsey) to sea (Christchurch), the Avon is a rare and important chalk stream habitat.

Although trespassing is a civil offence, hostile signs and barbed wire can make us feel like criminals for simply enjoying our countryside. Being in nature should feel welcoming, not intimidating.

Our North West Local Group set out on a trespass walk along the River Bollin, rambling through town, woodland, water, and fields. Along the way, they visited a woodland microenclosure watched over by CCTV cameras, and later took to the river for a paddle.

Founded in 1907 to defend landowners’ interests, the CLA has fought against every major push to open up the countryside. From blocking early footpath reforms to opposing today’s right to roam movement, the CLA has stood on the wrong side of public access for over a century.

Access to green and blue spaces shouldn’t be a privilege reserved for the few. It should be something everyone can enjoy, explore, and connect with.

Seventeen walkers joined Norfolk Right to Roam for a two-mile autumn walk beside the River Wensum. The route followed an ancient public path through oak woodland, past former gravel pits now rich in wildlife, before looping back through meadows and woods beside the river.

Our Land, a new documentary, interrogates the connections between land, power and a sense of belonging following the Right to Roam movement in England and Wales. It captures the tension between public campaigners fighting for greater access to nature and landowners.

The River Dart trespass was undertaken by our South Devon group, where they met at Galmpton before trespassing in the Waddeton Court and Sandridge Barton Estates, the latter of which is owned by a company registered in the Cayman Islands.

There are around 1,500 rivers in Britain, so the government’s manifesto pledge to create a mere 9 river walks is simply pathetic.
Give the public a right of responsible access to all rivers & the wider countryside.

3/ As we found on our trespass along the River Dart today, plenty of landowners have already created private walks along the river. The physical infrastructure is already there. But outdated trespass laws mean the public has no right of access.

2/ There are around 1500 rivers in the UK.
So the Govt's pledge of a mere 9 river walks is paltry.
Moreover, it's unworkable. As @lewis-winks.bsky.social has found, the River Dart alone has 108 landowners - impossible to negotiate permissive access with them all

We don't just want 9 river walks, we want access to all rivers. 96% of rivers in England and Wales have no rights of access. Landowners have blocked public access to rivers for centuries. Labour's promise is just 9 new river walks. We say that's not enough.
