"We need more access to the countryside," argues Nick Hayes
In England, walkers, cyclists, riders and canoeists can openly access less than 10 per cent of the land – Nick Hayes argues that we need more access for our mental and physical well being in episode 9, season 7 of the BBC Countryfile magazine podcast
Come with us to a narrowboat on the Kennet and Avon canal to talk to Nick Hayes, author of the The Book of Trespass, about how little of the English countryside is open to walkers, riders and canoeists.
