Heart & Stone - 4. Legacy of Land
Is the countryside really ours to freely explore when half of England is owned by just 1% of its population?
Across the UK, people are breaking the stereotypes and myths surrounding who can have access to our natural spaces.
Meg joins the Muslim Hikers on Kinder Scout in the Peak District, the site of the first mass trespass in 1932. She also speaks with Guy Shrubsole, author of ‘Who Owns England’ and academic and poet, Emily Zobel Marshall.
