I'm not sure what incident was in the original post but have my own views re the NT and Srudland from way back when the land was handed over to them from the Bankes Estste. The NT tried charging us then 50p I think to land with a dinghy - they were told a few home truths then by quite a few folks. Next they built carparks where none previously existed, so more and more people arrived in their cars and not surprisingly walked the walk up to Old Harry. The NT said all those visitors they were now getting were damaging the footpaths so they widened them and reinforced bits, cutting away the natural hedges in the process and spoiling IMO part of the natural beauty.
Similar result too in North Wales where as a yoof I used to mountain walk/climb, the paths were getting worn. Paths were wearing for centuries, that is how they were made. So what if bits crumbled and new route arounds were made - that is natural progression in my view. Otherwise just take a few pics and ban visitors.
