Under Schedule 2 of the CROW you are not allowed to take any parts of
plants from land you accessing under these rights

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/37/schedule/2

Unless you have the permission of the landowner - which is what I said in
the first place!


No, or at least only half right. You said (or implied) that taking parts
of plants was *always* illegal (without landowners permission)

The restrictions under the CROW mentioned above only apply to 'Open
Access Land' as defined by the CROW - open moorland, heathland etc.
Where since 2005 people have been allowed to walk (or run or whatever,
but no horses, or bikes etc.) freely over the land.

It doesn't apply to other areas of land (generally lowland, enclosed
land such as fields woodlands etc.). In these areas, it is not illegal.

Does the legislation mentioned above apply to Scotland, too? I thought
Scots law was somewhat different.

No, I don't think so, just England and Wales AIUI

As you say the access law in Scotland is different, and more 'generous',
since the changes introduced with the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003

Though I'm not sure what differences there are in respect of taking
parts of plants
