Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Trespasser's Companion written and read by Nick Hayes.
The countryside ought to be for everyone, and this beautiful, thoughtful companion can help us all start to forge paths into the forgotten corners of our green, pleasant and often inaccessible land' Catrina Davies, author of Homesick
The Trespasser’s Companion is a rallying cry for greater public access to nature and a gently seditious guide to how to get it: by trespassing.
We are excluded from the majority of our land and waterways in England, but bestselling writer Nick Hayes shows how reclaiming our connection to nature would be better both for us, and for nature. By stepping over the fences that bar us from the countryside, by engaging more deeply with nature through craft, education, and citizen science, we can rediscover not only a land that has been hidden from us for too long, but also reignite our collective responsibility to protect it.
Interwoven are testimonials from expert contributors – farmers and landworkers, activists and authors – each with deeply personal stories of what a connection to nature means for them.
'The Trespasser's Companion is many things at once: a how-to guide; a spell book; a call to arms' Kerri Andrews, author of Wanderers

The perfect audio companion to a good trespass.
This is both a brilliant companion for anyone wanting to explore the land and a well researched roadmap to a better future.
Best listened to while climbing fences or crawling through a hedge.

Fantastic book
Another insightful and informative book from Nick Hayes. It is a great follow up to the book of trespass and is definitely worth a read.

Packed with what we all need to know.
After reading the previous book on this subject and loving it, I needed this one. I was not disappointed.

One powerful step on the road to universal land rights
Brilliant and practical. Brings the threads together in an undeniable argument. It’s now up to us. Thanks Nick.

Absolutely brilliant
A brilliant, informative and engaging book. A call to arms for all those who wish to reclaim the right to access our land. Even better than The Book of Trespass.

Meandering tirade
I was looking for something useful for encounters with land guardians whilst out exploring. Only once was the legal status and course of action/consequences of subsequent courses of action stated - this was lost amongst other political idealistic views and call to arms for a disperse and overlapping selection of groups.
There are a few useful points, but these were drowned out by what I can only describe as a stereotypical green activist’s meandering ideology.
This put me off wanting to associate myself with any of the suggested groups.
Counterproductive for anyone but the ‘converted’.
