Allemansrätt or Reason No. 2 Why I do not miss Norfolk


Gone are the days of trespass

Allemansrätt or the right to roam the countryside. I still look over my shoulder guiltily when entering agricultural land, but here in Sweden you have the right to access any land (outside of some protected nature reserves and military areas). Peoples gardens are off limits too obviously. You can camp pretty much anywhere too for one night and light fires - Team Benstead enjoys these rights greatly during the winter and summer.

The only trouble with access to all areas here is you realise how much habitat there is near you that deserves attention.
