We tend to say hello to people out walking on footpaths as we pass them.
Madonna tried to stop roamers crossing her land, but failed, I think the Courts ruled that footpaths are legally protected.
A win for the people 💯
@@NAIATHEDRAGON Just as a court would have to rule against the Monarchy if there were a footpath across any property that belonged to the Crown. I know one side of the River at Balmoral (Scotland) is a part of the Crowns Estate yet there is Public access and views across to the Summer Vacation home of the Monarchy. Tony in Essex.
Farmers in the UK are often grateful for walkers. A hiker who finds a fallen sheep will help her.
I live in Snowdonia and have been part of a few sheep rescues over the years and the farmers are always extremely grateful.
That's amazing!
In England Wales, 140,000 miles of footpaths.
Walking a long-distance route is a great way to explore Scotland. There are currently 29 routes branded as Scotland's Great Trails, totalling almost 2,000 miles.
Footpaths were there before private property. Imagine closing a road because someone buys the fields on either side.
Recently some cyclists were riding the tracks near Balmoral in Scotland and they bumped into King Charles who was out walking. Scotland has the right to roam and you will find Bothy's which are places that are left unlocked for you to stay in overnight if you are taking a particularly long hike, all they ask is that you leave it as you find it. Just show respect for the land, shut gates, don't leave litter. In the UK there are miles of footpaths that cross the country, even going from coast to coast.
Sounds like the people truly lookout for eachother 🤜🤛.
@@NAIATHEDRAGONWhy do you hate each other so much in the Land Of The Free?
@@josephturner7569 Because that "freedom" is combined with a lack of understanding the responsibilities that come with it, due to terrible educational standards. Many Americans are relatively immature intellectually, and take things to extremes because "the Constitution says we can".
The diference is that the footpaths were there before the farmland. Many of them go back to the Middle Ages, some go back to the Iron Age. Buy that patch of land and you have to accept that people have trodden that way for centuries and will continuue to do so.
The Ridgeway in Wiltshire goes back to the Neolithic.
Do you not have Maps in the USA. In the UK we have the Ordanance Survey maps which have all paths and all major buildings such as Churches and Post offices etc.They are published in a form that you can easily use.
Not much people (at least in my generation) really use maps much.
@@NAIATHEDRAGONI think the same decline may be happening in the UK. A shame as detailed maps such as the O. S. ones are such a wonderful resource full of detailed information and cover the whole of Britain. Also old large scale maps dating back to the 19th century are also viewable for free online enabling a degree of historic research of a chosen location.
I love the freedom we have here. There are so many beautiful places we can walk to. Walkers meeting on our paths greet each other and befriend each other's dogs.
But but, Murica is the freeist country in the world.
Sounds like a fairytale 💜
In Britain you don't really need public footpaths I have climbed over farm gates and just walked on farm land and never had any farmers coming and shouting to tell me to get off which I think it's very nice as long as you respect their land and not get to close to their homes. You get to see more country side.
That sounds like freedom!
@@NAIATHEDRAGONin the UK to trespass you need to enter someone’s land and cause damage. So if you leave your frond door open it’s not a crime to enter the property.
Been loving your videos lately, my man. Keep up the good content. British countryside is kind of my ‘thing.’ 😊
It looks beautiful!
It kinda looks from the outside that America doesn't look that Free ,or that United ..great vid mate
And that is the truth!
We do have midges, ticks, wasps and mosquitos all over the UK. You would be likely to have insect bites or stings at the end of the summer around July-September, i.e. at harvest time. Though having said that, I got bitten in spring this year. Cows with calves are also dangerous, though you can enter their field I wouldn't do so. People die each year through not knowing the danger of walking near cows with calves.
There are a couple of good YT videos showing the footpaths in UK, even a couple that explain how they have been there for centuries... Madonna bought a huge property here in UK, it had a public footpath on the land, she took it to court to get it closed...she lost.....
Ha! I was going to mention that. Don’t f**k with our rights of way!
Working with the Ramblers Assoc and others I've had a foot path moved 10 metres. The Ramblers are happy that they've got a well looked after footpath with some nice wooden seats to use and the person who's land it is is happy that no one can look into his bathroom as they walk past.
@@Westcountrynordic I had a gap about 3ft wide between the bottom of my garden and my neighbour. It had to be walked on every so often to be maintained as a right of way. It was hilarious watching them struggle down every few years. It was about 20 metres long, and the main road ran parallel to it in front of my house.
I understand the importance of maintaining our rights of way, but I’ve also had disagreements with Rambler’s Association. Seems strange when my RUclips channel is all about loving and appreciating the English countryside, and it’s footpaths.
@@primalengland I've been very lucky in the fact that those I've dealt with at the ramblers have been very good and easy to deal with
A great win for the people 🤜🤛.
I think the main thing US don't seem to understand about UK Footpaths is why they exist.
They a paths that have traditionally been used by the people.
They go somewhere.
They were not built, design for leisure, they exist because people needed to get from A to B and this was and still is the best way to do this on foot.
Difference from a nature trail to footpaths footpaths go through peoples properties and you aren’t trespassing. Footpath’s are in England 🏴 , Scotland 🏴 , wales 🏴
In Britain, the old footpaths stem from feudal times when the barons & landowners wanted the serfs & peasants to get to & from their land work as quickly as possible.
I've followed a footpath in Herefordshire that went through the bottom of someone garden. They were sitting on the patio watching us stroll by. We waved, they waved back, no drama.
I often camp in a spot where the nearest pub (for an occasional evening meal/drink) is about 4 miles by road or 2 miles across fields. Despite no official footpaths, there's no question or concerns about trekking across various farmers fields to the pub. Of course there are some grumpy farmers in the UK, but generally it's not an issue, provided you're not trampling over crops or upsetting livestock. Perhaps on the whole we're a bit more sensible/mature than many Americans, who need prohibitive rules to stop them being silly or thoughtless.
It looks lovely and very peaceful where you filmed. Lovely sunny day which looks the same as here today.✌
I can't imagine having to be worried about being shot when going for a walk 😳 There is private land here, but ancient footpaths are protected. They are numbered, so you can quote them in law should someone try to stop you from using one.
You would love the New Forest near me, (circa 1066-ish), where animals have right of way, away from the motorway. If you are driving, (there is a strict speed limit), and there is a horse, cow, sheep or donkey strolling along in the middle of the road, or even sitting down, you have to wait!! Not the place to be if you are in a hurry 😂 People are disappointed if it doesn't happen to them. 😊
We are lucky, and I thank God I live here, also for being able to visit quickly and easily other nearby countries which have the same values. 💖🇬🇧🤗🙋♀️
In the UK we have what's called a Country Code which assuming you abide by you have a legal right to roam.
We have detailed maps of footpaths in the UK. But some are at risk - if not used regularly they can get lost to farming. Where I live we used to have paths through the fields up to the hills and dogs could run free in the fields if there were no animals there, but then the land was sold and the new owner fenced in the footpath so now it's just narrow strip at the edge of the fields. It's horrible - gets very muddy and you cannot walk past another person with room to spare: have to stop and edge past.
In the uk public foot paths are enshrined in common law, before good roads, canals, railways ect . Transport/travel was extremely difficult and often changing so laws where put in place to mitigate difficulties.
Please react to the video - British footpaths are living history. It is on the channel Mac and Blair Family Adventures. He actually explains that British footpaths are enshrined in law for the people. He also takes you on a local footpath by his house on a farmers field. The are sites on Google Uk that show all the historic footpaths that are still in use today. Keep the videos coming, loving the content and channel. 🇬🇧😀
Ive just watched a video of a dual nationality (i think) guy go to stonehenge. It kinda ties into the nature theme. He also has more videos of an African american moving to the UK.
Mac & Blair family adventures. I noticed how you like Hicksons take on the UK, and he might help too. It's pretty similar, just from a bigger family's point of view
As long as you leave the land as you found it, you can camp, with a fire, and it's fine with the owner. Most of our parks don't close at night, and you can't be arrested for going after hours. Only in cities do they have opening hours. Really interesting video bud. Thanks. You keep on walking!
Fires are banned in some places, especially in Summer, because not everyone is respectful enough. New Forest has some restrictions especially since there were some major forest fires caused by people and one use Barbecues.
@@grabtharshammer yes I was in the New Forest one year and there was a fire.
Same thing happened where I live now was out late with hubbie and the dog we turned a corner around an area of tree's to be meet with a wall of flame. We had to get the dog on the lead and rung the fire bridage as we were on military land. We stayed and directed them to the fire and they were able to get it under control and put it out. Next morning we went back it was a huge area of black dead trees and undergrowth but at least it didn't spread further onto the health land the rest of the woods or into the back garden for the houses that backed onto the military land.
@@grabtharshammer I should have mentioned, I am Scottish, our Right To Roam Act allows us far more rights than down south, although I'm sure there are a very few places that ban fires, I have never encountered one. We are allowed "The lighting of a fire is allowed as part of the exercise of access rights, if it is done responsibly."
It looks a beautiful today in your neighbour hood.
A cursory look at our country's history will show that over time (centuries) we have had to fight for our rights in a whole range of situations. Landownership is one such situation.
In the UK we have two types of Footpaths, one you would call the Sidewalk in towns or cities, the other you would call Hiking Tails. Most (if not all) of the UK Footpaths are very very old between 8th and 13th Century era. Most of these predate carriage routes (which later became roads) and would be used by traders or common routes between villages. YES the Romans made marching "roads" routes between settlements or Military Roads things like Watling Street or Emine Street, there is even a streatch of Roman road in the North West of England call Hardnott Pass and Wrynose Pass (***there are videos on RUclips for you to view this pass***) linking two communities over a mountain range in the Lake District (the North West of England) Protected by a Roman Fort at one end. Tony in England
How is it in the fall? 🍂🍁
@@NAIATHEDRAGON Temperature wise high 50Fs and low 60Fs, color wise "Stunning" How ever I would think in the Winter the road may close to vehicle traffic due to the gadiient, tight corners and foggy weather and snow. (Please note I have used the temperature scale you are used to as well as some American spelling adjustments) Tony in England
Most British "foot paths" are historic or ancient paths used for hundreds or thousands of years they are a privilege it is history at your feet, much of Europe has similar public access to the land. Just respect the land, look after it, and enjoy it.
The foot paths are very well defined in the uk, so don't walk across in to the farmers field and his private land. Because they also have guns and are not afraid to use them (at least as a warning shot).
Most Sundays we choose an Ordnance Survey walk, drive out there and spend the day walking, ending up in the (dog friendly) pub. We are very fortunate, and didn’t even know it.
I don’t know if you have checked out anything about the “Mass Trespass at Kinder Scout” (1932), which had a significant impact on opening up land for ordinary people in England.
There are footpaths and bridle paths. Bridle paths are for hikers and horse riders. Asphalt footpaths have also become cycle routes. A footpath near me goes through a private garden. On the south coast of England many footpaths were made by smugglers in the 18th century. UK farmers have been known to shoot hiker's dogs if they frighten their livestock. Hikers are killed by cows in both the US and UK. If you visit the Lake District be prepared for some steep rocky slopes to hike up to the top of the Fells. But worth it for the views. If you do a coastal hike, be aware that landslips are common along the sea cliffs.
You will love walking uk - try looking at the south wests coastal trail - amazing scenery and dartmoor has areas you can wild camp
We have absolutely beautiful public footpaths in Ireland also but the rule of the countryside is LEAVE NO TRACE .Which means enjoy the land but respect it also .For example Don’t leave rubbish behind, close all gates after you and don’t disturb any wildlife or farm animals. That way everyone gets to enjoy the beauty of the British and Irish countryside🌲💕
Yes, we have Mosquitoes, we also have Midges (small Mosquito like insects) and they both bite, and that itches like Fxxx. At least you can see Bears, our little B'stards will bite you without you even knowing ... till later.
Buy any Ordnance Survey map of the UK, and see the network of public footpaths, bridleways (horse and foot paths), and major named paths, such as the "Ridgeway", crossing the whole country. There is a 'Country Code' all well mannered walkers follow. It respects the land, farmers and monuments you may find along the way.
You can see Ordnance Survey maps using Bing Maps and select the right option.
That looks like a lovely place.
The word is wary, not weary.
Film further ahead, all i can see is the grass you're walking on.😊
In Scotland unlike the rest of the UK, we have freedom to roam where you can walk where you like as long as you respect the land & livestock. There are National trails such as the West Highland Way which is very popular & if you do walk it you will make lots of friends along the way. You can wild camp or stay in a Bothy (very basic accommodation usually free) - there is even one on the royal Balmoral estate owned by the King or one of the lovely B&Bs. You will often find honesty boxes along the more popular trails with food & drink where you choose what you want & leave the payment in a tin usually although I have started to see some that take contactless lolx. All you need is a good pair of boots, good waterproofs, a map & a sense of adventure - so get out there & take pictures, make memories & leave nothing but footprints x.
The whole of the UK has the freedom to roam, that isn't a Scottish exclusive. C'mon Susan being disingenuous isn't a good thing.
@johnc4224 Scotland's Right to Roam is different to the rest of the UK's roaming law and gives almost complete freedom to go anywhere and camp anywhere. Please check your facts before you have a dig at someone else
& If you wish to protect the English public rights of way & bridle paths you could join the Open Spaces Society Campaign to keep them open to the public.
Theres been a claim by the " progressive " left in the UK that our countryside is exclusive and " racist " , not welcoming to coloureds . How did you find it ? Seems like you had a great time .
1) never heard that said by anyone, let alone "progressive left". Sounds like you have political issues - 2) I don't think this video WAS in the UK
@@grabtharshammer1) If you search " Racist British Countryside " you will find dozens of articles spanning over the past 12 months or so . I guess you must live in Guatemala not to have heard of this as the story even featured in Australia. 2) I assume the presenter had been to the UK to make the comparison. Why on earth would he present a video like this otherwise ?
One thing that would deter me of walking in the States is the amount of dangerous animals you may encounter in certain places. We really dont have anything deadly. Over centuries we have killed off the wolves and bears, etc. Ask the native Scots about midges. They are super annoying.
I think your forgetting all the national state parks you have plus the AT PCT an many more. We are a very small island compared to the USA. 🏴🇬🇧🙏🏻
It’s the right to roam. It’s a fundamental right. We do have an awful class system, the aristocracy do their best to curtail walkers, and they sometimes succeed. But walkers have, and do take the aristocracy to Court for the right to roam.
what utter tripe.
Very few people eat Tripe these days, especially the tripe that comes from Utters
