Walking/Hiking Answers: Footpaths blocked by Barbed Wire

Got an answer to the following question?

Footpaths Blocked By Barbed Wire

Thank you for answering my question [before I have actually asked] by logging on to your website.

I walk my dog along various public footpaths around my area with no problems but recently a land owner has fenced across the path with barbed wire.

I have to climb over this fence to continue to the end of the path which I do.

Can you tell me can I legally cut the wire to allow easy access along the path?

Many Thanks
