The vast majority of people in Great Britain believe it’s important to have access to the countryside close to where they live, according to new polling from CPRE, the countryside charity and YouGov.

85% of those asked responded that access to the countryside was either ‘very important’ (53%) or ‘fairly important’ (32%). Strong support for countryside access was evident across every age group, gender, region and socioeconomic background.

Strikingly, 85% of those who voted Labour in 2019 agreed that access to the countryside was important. The figure for Conservative voters was 91%.
