I own a long narrow parcel of land. Sometime in the Nineteenth Century, the boundary hedge was moved approx 2 metres to the East to accommodate an access lane. As this access lane no longer appears in my deeds, who owns it? And can I have it reinstated?

I am presuming your in the UK, I know in English law that if you build a hedge around your home then after i think its 12 years that land becomes part of your estate, It sounds like you may of lost that land, see citizens advice for free

Box clever!
Move your fence back, but leave enough space for access, to keep the right of way.
Leave for 12 years, and DO NOT touch the right of way, it will be over grown, and no one will use it.
Fence off the remaining land, and contact the local council to claim the land as yours, EASY!

if the deeds show the land is yours then fence it off as yours but if somebody needs access then they will be allowed to go accross your land.
