That's a thing that bothers me generally in the West. In theory there is a lot of open country but in reality there are huge areas of grazing land fenced in with no way to get through which makes hiking very difficult. In Britain and Germany they usually don't completely block off their land but there are trails going through.

In France, on the seashore, this is called "the path of the customs officers" [1]
