Walkers wanting to enjoy footpaths across the British countryside are being blocked or obstructed in nearly 32,000 places across England and Wales. But they are fighting back, with one rambler even training as a lawyer to force councils to keep the way clear. A BBC investigation found councils which have responsibility for footpaths had 4,000 more access issues on public rights of way in 2023 than in 2022. Campaigners said this showed a "growing abuse and neglect" of the path network.

In a school playground squeezed between two main roads, children play tag in some of Sheffield's filthiest air. Keisi Hoxhaj, 11, says her morning walk is "really busy and full of pollution". Traffic is the main cause, but the situation isn't helped by a lack of trees to soak up the fumes. A new interactive map released on Tuesday starkly lays out what has been long suspected, that "concrete jungles" devoid of tree cover have more pollution and poorer air quality.

England will get a new national park as part of a government set of "nature pledges" to give greater access and protection to the countryside. Natural England will consider a list of possible sites, which could include the Chilterns, the Cotswolds and Dorset. Some environmentalists gave the news a cautious welcome, as government funding for national parks has fallen in real terms, forcing service and staff cuts. Funding worth £15m was also announced for a range of protected landscapes.
