Anger and momentum are building for Scottish style rights of access to mountains, meadows, rivers and woodlands in England where the public is allowed on just 8% of land, a new documentary suggests.
Our Land, a film whose title is a nod to the protest song by Woody Guthrie, explores the rise of the right to roam movement in England.

The movement, which began five years ago, uses tactics learned from early 20th-century campaigners, whose mass trespass on Kinder Scout in the Peak District in 1932 was seen as a catalyst for change, marking a shift in public opinion.
The documentary, directed by Orban Wallace, follows campaigners as they take members of the public on smaller mass trespasses on private land in England, and interviews landowners from Devon to Scotland.
Wallace said: “I hope this film will be a deep listening exercise for the country and start an informed conversation. No one is having that discussion at the moment, people are on opposing sides.”
In the last two years, those campaigning for public rights to be extended, say the momentum has built.
A catalyst was the battle to keep wild camping rights on Dartmoor in Devon, after landowners won a high court ruling that gave them the right to remove campers from their 1,600-hectare (4,000-acre) estate on the southern part of the moor. The move provoked fury and a campaign of mass protest rallies, with legal action leading to the supreme court overturning the decision.

“When Dartmoor happened it unleashed this seam of energy that has been building in England … It is impossible to withstand. It has its own momentum now,” said Nick Hayes, the author of The Book of Trespass, and a right to roam campaigner. “What we need, what we are crying out for, is that these hundreds of thousands of acres of forests, meadows, of rivers and wetlands, should be opened up to the public that so badly need them. The people who own them can go on owning them.”
Campaigners want the government to introduce a Scottish-style rights of access law to allow ordinary people to responsibly enjoy nature that is contained on private land.
The 2003 Land Reform (Scotland) Act established a legal right of responsible access to most land and inland water in Scotland for walking, cycling, and camping. Similarly, in Sweden and Norway, the right of public access, or Allemansrätten, gives everyone the freedom to roam and explore the beauty of the countryside.

The Scottish peer and landowner John Grant is filmed in the documentary driving around some of his estate, pointing out areas where the public can camp, cycle and kayak.
“Everyone, whatever their age or ability, has access rights under [the] 2003 act but you only have rights if you exercise them responsibly,” he said.
“We have found that people then really do care for the land … We all belong to the land, the land doesn’t belong to us.”

Other landed gentry featured might take more persuading. When Francis Fulford, who owns a 1,200-hectare estate in Devon, is asked if he would like to share the beauty that he and his family can enjoy on private woodland walks on the estate, he says: “Only to people who pay, make a contribution to the upkeep.
“Imagine the cost to [a] landowner to make sure his whole estate is safe for the general public who are completely ignorant, most of them, of rural ways of life.”
Some farmers have expressed concern that the general public do not understand how the countryside works, with examples given of gates being left open, putting livestock at risk, and crops being disturbed by people and dogs.
Nadia Shaikh, a naturalist and right to roam campaigner who has moved to Scotland, said closeness to nature gave people there a sense of belonging and responsibility. “If you are going to cut people from the landscape for hundreds of years there is going to be some deep learning to do,” she said. “But it’s not impossible that the English public can learn to, for example, shut gates, if we invest in some education.”

Guy Shrubsole, the author, land activist and right to roam campaigner, said access to the countryside would be dependant on people acting responsibly. He said there was no right to roam over 92% of the English countryside.
The last expansion of access was brought in by the last Labour government, in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act of 2000. Creating a new right to roam law would mean access would no longer be subject to the arbitrary whim of big landowners, 1% of whom still own 50% of England.
The government indicated it did not support a direct adoption of the Scottish model given differences in land use, population density and land ownership patterns in England. A Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs spokesperson said: “Our countryside and green spaces are a source of great national pride, but too many people across the country have been left without access to the great outdoors.
“We are increasing access to nature and the countryside, creating nine new national river walks, designating the Coast to Coast route in the north of England, and launching the 2,700-mile King Charles III England coast path.”
Pistons mount astounding comeback against Magic, Lakers finally see off Houston, Raptors set up decider against Cavs.
Published On 2 May 20262 May 2026
The top-seeded Detroit Pistons recovered from the brink of elimination with an astounding comeback against Orlando, while the Los Angeles Lakers finally saw off Houston at the third time of asking in the NBA playoffs.
The Pistons’ come-from-behind win on Friday took their series with the Magic to a decisive Game 7, while the Toronto Raptors also set up a decider against Cleveland thanks to an overtime thriller triumph.

Up 3-2 in the series against Detroit and seeking a close-out victory, the Magic had led by as many as 24 points before their shooting suddenly collapsed and the Pistons took full advantage.
A shell-shocked Orlando missed 23 consecutive field goals – the longest streak in playoff history – and scored just one point in more than 10 minutes of basketball, as the Pistons sealed a 93-79 win.
“Never say die, simple as that. I mean, Detroit grit, it’s what we’ve been talking about all year,” said Detroit’s Cade Cunningham, who led the scoring with 32 points and 10 rebounds.
Having been down 3-1 in the series, the Pistons had looked set to become just the seventh top seed in NBA history to lose in the first round to their conference’s bottom seed.
But they now have a chance to win the series back in Detroit on Sunday.
After an even first quarter, Orlando went on a hot streak, before the pressure of closing out their first playoff series win since 2010 seemed to kick in.
Boos rained down on the court as a 71-54 Magic advantage was transformed into an 80-72 Detroit lead.
The Pistons, having dominated the regular season, will now be favourites to claim their own first playoff series win since 2008.
“Thank God we get to take this back to the crib. It’s gonna be loud in Detroit, and we got to finish our business,” said Cunningham, who scored 19 in the fourth quarter.
Raptors take Cavs to Game 7
If Detroit reach the Eastern semifinal, they will play either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Raptors, whose series also stands 3-3 after an overtime Toronto win.
Playing at home, the Raptors led most of the night before the Cavaliers powered back in the fourth quarter to set up an intense finish.
Leading by two points with less than a minute remaining, Toronto handed Cleveland a lifeline with a shot-clock violation.
Evan Mobley forced his way through the Raptors’ defence to tie up the game 104-104, and Toronto’s Jamal Shead just missed a return shot at the end of regulation.
In overtime, Cleveland nudged in front and led by one point until the final few seconds.
But RJ Barrett’s three-pointer jump shot bounced off the heel of the rim, looped up in the air and dropped through the net to seal the Toronto win.
“Glory be to God, man. I didn’t make anything in the fourth quarter, overtime, I was playing bad … thank God, I was able to make that shot,” said Barrett.
Game 7 will be played in Cleveland on Sunday.

‘Close-out situation’
The Lakers, having led their series against Houston 3-0, had twice wobbled to allow the Rockets to get back to 3-2.
But LeBron James’ men killed off the series with a comfortable 98-78 win to set up a Western semifinal against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the reigning NBA champions.
James top-scored with 28 points, plus eight assists and seven rebounds, continuing his fine postseason form at the age of 41.
The win spared the Lakers’ blushes. A loss would have left them one defeat away from being the first team in NBA history to squander a 3-0 playoff lead.
“A lot of our guys, quite frankly, have not been in this position, have not been in a close-out situation, especially on the road, so it was important for me to go out and set the tone,” said James.

The first malaria treatment for babies has been approved by the World Health Organization, opening the door to widespread use around the globe.
In parts of Africa, up to 18% of children under six months will be infected with malaria, but there has historically been no safe treatment for the smallest of them. There were 610,000 deaths from malaria in 2024, about three quarters of which were under-fives in Africa.
The WHO said infants with malaria had until now been treated with formulations designed for older children “which increase the risk of dosing errors, side effects and toxicity”.
Medical leaders hope that Coartem Baby, which can be used to treat infants as small as 2kg (4.4lb), will fill the treatment gap. The drug comes as sweet cherry-flavoured tablets that can be dissolved into liquids, including breast milk.
“For centuries, malaria has stolen children from their parents, and health, wealth and hope from communities,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO director general. “But today, the story is changing.”
Coartem Baby now has WHO prequalification, which indicates it meets international standards of quality, safety and efficacy, and will enable public-sector procurement for many countries with high rates of malaria, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
Ghebreyesus said new vaccines and diagnostic tests, alongside next-generation mosquito nets, were helping to turn the tide against the mosquito-borne disease.
Coartem Baby contains two antimalarial drugs, artemether and lumefantrine, and was developed by the multinational pharmaceutical company Novartis and the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV).
The development follows increasing research challenging the historical misconception that young babies cannot be infected with malaria because they retain immunity passed on by their mothers during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Dr Martin Fitchet, chief executive of MMV, said: “For too long, newborns and young infants with malaria have fallen through the cracks because existing treatments were not designed with them in mind.” He said the WHO ruling was “a major public-health milestone”.
The treatment has already been introduced in Ghana. Baby Wonder, now eight months old, was among the first patients to receive the drug, when he was 12 weeks old. He had been taken to hospital with a high fever, and tests confirmed elevated levels of the malaria parasite in his blood.
“I was very scared when my son got malaria because he was born underweight,” said his mother, Naomi.
Doctors at the hospital managed to coordinate access to Coartem Baby, and today Wonder is healthy and thriving.
“As doctors we have tended to look for malaria in older children, but when newborn babies got sick nobody seemed to know what to do,” said Dr Emmanuel Aidoo, a paediatrician at Methodist hospital in Ankaase, Ghana. “Having a new treatment tailor-made for infants that is well tolerated gives us confidence.”
Novartis said it would make the treatment available “on a largely not-for-profit basis in malaria-endemic regions”.
The Gates Foundation, which contributes funding towards the independent journalism produced on the Guardian’s Global development site, is also among the donors to the Medicines for Malaria Venture

It also said that US nationals should vary their “travel routes and times” to reduce predictability and to keep a low profile.
The UK’s domestic intelligence agency, MI5, said on Friday that the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre had raised the threat level from “substantial” to “severe”.
This is the second-highest level, signalling that an attack within the next six months is “highly likely”, MI5 said in a statement.
“The UK has been experiencing a gradual increase in terrorist threats for some time,” the agency said, adding the changed threat level also followed after the stabbing of two Jewish men in the Golders Green area of London on Wednesday, “although it is not solely a result of that attack”.
The increased danger has been “driven by a rise in both Islamist and Extreme Right-Wing terrorist threat from individuals and small groups in the UK,” MI5 said, noting threats in particular to “Jewish and Israeli individuals and institutions, in the context of the conflict in the Middle East”.
This is the second security notice from the US embassy in the UK in the last few weeks.
Recently, it posted a statement noting the recent attacks and threats “targeting Jewish and American institutions”, and advising citizens to be cautious.
Last week, the Finchley Reform Synagogue in north London was targeted. Other incidents have occurred, including an attack on the Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow.
