Many people don't realise that there's no general right to walk on beaches or along the coast in England and Wales. Many beaches and clifftops are privately owned and closed to the public.

The government is considering making the entire coastline of England publicly accessible, with a few exceptions like military training areas. However time is running out, and if the bill doesn't go before the House soon it'll get dropped.

The Ramblers' Association has an online petition to press the government to action this swiftly before time runs out. You can find the petition here.

If you support the idea please sign the petition.

It seems to me that this is something that would potentially be extremely beneficial to cachers, which is why I've posted it here.
