No, Stigweard I rent much of the the land I farm. I pay hard cash once a year for the privilege. And the bits I do own, I own down to the centre of the earth (if you look at drilling and mineral abstraction rights, you'll find that this is commonplace). Sorry about that. I probably makes me a hate figure in the eyes of any 'Mancheser Rambler'-singing radical, but there you go. If it makes you happy, I don't have a mortgage.
And as for rights of way - yes, there are rights, but the land does not belong to the Queen, the council or anyone else. It does belong to the poor sod who actually, er, owns it. And who has to keep it cleared. And what exactly is this 'Queen's Highway'? Is it in London? The link you post doesn't make any mention of such a concept. Can you make it clearer please?
