The Lie of the Land
‘Who Really Cares for the Countryside?’
by Guy Shrubsole
There have recently been a number of fascinating books regarding the controversial subject of land ownership from the brilliant ‘Book of Trespass’ by Nick Hayes to Guy Shrubsole’s previous publication ‘Who Owns Britain’. The past 1000 years of history, since William the Conqueror, has seen the erosion of the common man’s rights over and access to land. This follow-up book ‘Who Really Cares for the Countryside’ now questions how seriously do those in charge of this finite and precious resource take their responsibility? Just one percent of the population owns just over half of England and this tiny landowning elite like to present themselves as the rightful custodians of the countryside – but is the fate of our land just too important to be left to the few that own it?
