How can if find out who owns a plot of land, without knocking door to door?

It's coming up to a milestone birthday for me and I fancy having a picnic with 8 of my friends in a little wood that's very close to my house.

I could just knock form door to door and find out, or even just go ahead and do it. There is a well trodden footpath through the wood and a guy on a mountain bike was messing around on fallen trees there today, but I just thought it best to ask.

Last milestone birthday I was single and had a lot of disposable cash, so I took said 8 friends for lunch in Monaco one day. This time I can't even afford one easy jet ticket. So it's Mad Hatters tea party in a wood. And a small charitable donation to the wood's owner.

I'm reasonably sure that at that age there are no restrictions on that. However, I could be wrong!
Correct in 1916 there were no restrictions on open wheels. So that carrys forward to today for 1916 cars, the same as electric lights and seatbelts. But I never drive it without goggles, I have enough stone chips in my daily's windscreen to respect my eyes. If it's raining I will sometimes dive it with a full face helmet, but it looks even more ridiculous.

Thank you for the land registry website, exactly the thing I was looking for.
