This is a little over simplifying it I feel.
In "Britain" there are two laws here - implied consent and the right to roam. Implied consent means that people carrying out their peaceful business are allowed to enter my property - so the postman can deliver stuff through the letterbox, UPS can knock on the door etc. As a property owner I can withdraw consent to any specific person or legal entity at any time. If I secue my property than nobody is allowed to break in.
The right to roam governs access by ramblers to open land including farmland. This is given on the basis that those doing the roaming do not cause any damage to crops, disturb animals etc.
