We have this problem in Scotland with obscenely wealthy folks buying up great chunks of the land.They then put up trespassers will be prosecuted signs,no trespass law in Scotland,then cannot understand why folks ignore them.I have been shot at when crossing an estate, owned by an Arab Sheik,by his Anglo factor.The law states that you may cross land as long as you do no damage and do not squat.
Legislation is being looked at to curb these land owners.
