The 'Right to Roam' campaign seeks to extend the Countryside and Rights of Way (CRoW) Act 2000 in England and Wales to cover rivers, woods, and Green Belt land, moving closer to the 'freedom to roam' model used in Scotland and Scandinavia. Currently, the public only has a right of access to about 8% of land in England, mostly restricted to mountains, moors, and coastal paths. Supporters argue that expanding access is a matter of social justice and public health, allowing more people to connect with nature. Opponents, including farmers and landowning associations, warn that a blanket right to roam would endanger biosecurity, increase dog attacks on livestock, and degrade fragile ecosystems through litter and disturbance.
