But if there is a right of way, it might not matter.
- defrost 3y agoGood question, I suspect that's unlikely .. but I'm happy to be proved wrong. UK Right of Way is a strong public right but essentially rests on a history of use and established transit from somewhere to somewhere. Temple Quay in Bristol is reclaimed rail and dockyards, it's private, has a history of commercial operation (no public, only owners and workers) and a chuck of the real estate used to be wet where ships parked up (ie not a lot of historic walking on water just there). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rights_of_way_in_England_and_Wales https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rights_of_way_in_England_and_W... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Quay https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Quay Have at it - caveat: IANAL .. I'm not even in the UK (at present).

But I fear we've strayed from the question of whether the open areas in Temple Quay have a public right of way or are the private property of the manamgement agency that followed after Castlemore Securities Ltd/SWERDA developed the area.
- callamdelaney 3y agoIt's extremely relevant, it doesn't matter who owns it or if it's a public right of way or not. Ultimately in the UK you can walk wherever you like whether the property is private or not. This is clearly a public area, right of way or not, where there is no expectation of privacy and therefore, legally, you can photograph anything you like, nobody can enforce otherwise.
- globular-toast 3y agoWhat are we talking about here? There's a difference between what you can do and what you have a right to do. You can walk across any land you can gain physical access to. But in England and Wales you almost certainly don't have a right to walk across said land. In Scotland you do but you are mistaken if you think England and Wales are like Scotland in this regard (sadly).
