    anything that people hasn’t built on generally belongs to the ‘crown’

    That’s the equivalent of state/federal land.

      It is in Canada. That’s what crown land is. But I don’t think there is much at all in the UK. Almost all the outdoors we think of in the national parks is farmland. Almost everything is privately owned but we still have access rights.

      Crown means its public land. The crown refers to the country as a whole, not the monarchy.

      But I don’t think there is much at all in the UK.

      Over 60% of the UK is crown land. Even where the land is farmed its held in “leasehhold”, meaning they cannot prevent public access.
