On my way to Yorkshire

vespaboy said:

My wife and I will be taking a 3 week vacation in Yorkshire. I really would like to do some detecting.
We're staying in a converted barn/guesthouse in the Stanbury/ Haworth / Keighley area.
Can I MD on the public paths?
Other areas I can MD without getting arrested?

Looking forward to your responses from my new MD friends in the UK!

The answer is no to both questions.

Public footpaths. They come under the term 'Permissive Permission' which means a member of the public have the legal right to walk over private land from A to B.

Bridleways for use of horse and riders.

All land belongs to somebody so you need their permission to use a metal detector on the land.

I have sent you a PM with a couple of contact details.
