Adam, do some basic research, is google a mystery to you?

To land in inland waters you need the 'landowners' permission, no different to farm strips but more difficult to get.
and
Try the Air Navigation Order - basic legal requirements for aircraft operation in the UK.

MEANING OF ARTICLE 168(1) OF THE AIR NAVIGATION ORDER 2005

Article 168(1) of the Air Navigation Order 2005 provides that, subject to the obligations of the holder of a public use aerodrome licence to make the aerodrome available in accordance with the terms of his licence, nothing in the Order or any Regulations made under it confers any right to land in any place as against the owner of the land or other persons interested in the land.
This does not make it an offence for a pilot to land without the landowner's permission. What the article provides is that the Air Navigation Order does not confer any right to land as against the landowner.
So, whereas a pilot who lands without permission may be a trespasser and may be liable to compensate the landowner if he causes damage, he will not have committed a criminal offence under the Air Navigation Order.

I don't know why you were so rude to AdamFrisch. Reading the answers to other people's questions adds to our store of aviation knowledge - we learn things even when we'd have no reason to research a topic ourselves.
Of course, there's always a risk an answer may be wrong.
