Won't somebody think of all the wealthy landowners, having to put up with being treated like ordinary people?

I mean, that’s kind of standard procedure in the UK, innit?
It certainly was over the past 14 years, yes.
I was thinking more about the whole monarchy thing, going back to ... forever?
There is that too, of course!
You guys should get a right of way law.
We don't have public paths like that because you are allowed to walk wherever you want except very close to people's homes and in people's gardens.
You are even allowed to walk across grazing fields actively being roamed by farm animals. You obviously have to close the gate behind you though.
For some reasons England always seems to be behind Scotland in such social issues
While I've been updating open street map I've also taken the time to report right off way violations via my councils web portal. The problem is most of the paths around here are permissive national park paths and there is no canonical catalog available digitally to cross check against. I don't know if they should also be registered as a right of way?
If in doubt, I’d say register them. It’ll be investigated then and them added to the digital register they’re creating if it is supposed to be a public path, and if not, at least someone notified them to look into it. If nobody tells them then it’s at risk of losing public access.
There's a public access right of right by a property owned by one of the Trump's around me. I've made extra sure to register it just to irritate them.
Next time I walk past it I must remember to take a picture, because it is quite spectacularly tasteless.
