Jeremy Clarkson closed off a section of a footpath near his holiday home in the Isle of Man recently after ramblers kept looking through the kitchen windows and taking photographs. Some of the ramblers had also been abusive towards the Clarkson family due to Jeremy's public profile
After he had done this, PROWL (Public Rights of Way Langness) ordered a public inquiry.
They said that walkers had followed that route for generations and without any legal interruptions for at least 21 years.
Clarkson's lawyers argued back that there were no rights of access, and it was only the landowner that gave them permission walk down the path.
Today the inquiry ruled that walkers are allowed to use the footpath, much to the annoyance of Clarkson and his family.
This could mean that the Top Gear presenter and his family may sell their home, however Clarkson has 28 days to object to the ruling.
Now the question is will he fight back?
