Madonna wins rambler battle
Madonna: will keep her estate private
13 April 2012
Pop star Madonna today won her bid to keep ramblers from walking across her £9 million country estate on the Wiltshire/Dorset border, according to the Planning Inspectorate.
A public inquiry ruled that the public has no right of access to 15 out of 17 contested segments of land within the 1,200 acre Ashcombe House in Tollard Royal owned by Madonna and her movie director husband, Guy Ritchie.
The row erupted after the Countryside Agency mapped out the celebrity couple's estate under the Countryside Rights of Way Act 2000.
