How accessible is the British countryside? In this week's programme, Sybil Ruscoe takes a stroll through the Monmounthshire countryside, meeting farmers and ramblers en route, to discuss the problems they both encounter. How can the two sides work together, to make sure the countryside is shared and respected by both? We also hear about the new new coastal path which will surround the whole of England and Wales, and talk to the farmer who took drastic steps to stop walkers and dogs straying from the designated footpath across his land.

Presented by Sybil Ruscoe and produced by Emma Campbell.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
