My laymans understanding is that if there is no gate or fence to prevent you entering a property it is not trespassing.
However it becomes trespassing if you are asked to leave and you do not.
So perhaps landing without permission on a country estate that is completely walled with locked gates would get a less favourable result in court than landing without permission on a property without fences or with open gates.
