Apr 7, 2022 · Elliott, I. (2022) A review of ‘The Book of Trespass’ Routes 2 (3): 203-217. Abstract. This review examines Nick Hayes’ 2020 book The Book of Trespass: Crossing the lines that divide us and its attempts to investigate and scrutinise how land ownership is the root of social inequality. This commentary aims to explore the links between land ...
Aug 16, 2020 · Hayes spots the danger of a “binary perspective”, them against us. He takes care never to demonise the keepers and estate workers he confronts on his wall-breaching escapades.

Hayes sees truly ...
Meandering. Fascinating. Thought-provoking. In this part polemic, part wanderer’s journal, part history lesson, Hayes organises chapters loosely around particular trespasses he has committed, exploring the history of the land he seeks to access, the beauty of nature and the way words and laws are used to guard land that, arguably, should be common ...
Fundamentally, Hayes urges us all to consider whether the way we currently treat land – as a purely commercial entity, with its commercial value prioritised above all other potential value – needs to be revised and how this could be done. He notes that: This seems especially pertinent when those individuals are operating on purely commercial instin...
Sep 27, 2020 · Reading The Book of Trespass is a visual, sensory experience as well, each section illustrated with dells, lakes, parks and animals. The stag of the final chapter represents a noble forest beast but also the Sheffield Trees Action Group who were successful in their bid to save city trees.
