The short article deals with how an enjoyable walk in the countryside can be ruined with broken signs, RTO and No Entry messages, unleashed dogs, and at time even ‘farmers’ who block the passage of the passers by. Is it really possible that the natural, undeveloped areas of the Maltese islands are private property? If so, why are they recommended as nature walks by the Malta Coastal Walk Book? What action should be taken by the authorities concerned?
