ISBN 9798270758295
An expanded and updated edition of John Bainbridge's earlier book The Compleat Trespasser: Journeys into Forbidden Britain (still separately in print), tracing how most of Britain's countryside came to be closed off to the people who live in it, and the long history of the access movement that has fought to reopen it.
Bainbridge, a former chief executive of the Dartmoor Preservation Association and a campaigner for the Countryside and Rights of Way Act, brings the story up to date with the 2023 dispute over wild camping on Dartmoor, one of the largest public land rights protests in living memory.
