It’s the opposite on England. Every nobleman aspired to have a country estate, the farmers here are viewed as (wrongly) middle class, fox hunting and riding are all the preserves of the elite. The typical English upper class image is a land rover riding guy in country tweed, a fisher/trapper’s flat cap and country boots, and the female equivalent is riding boots or hunter wellies, a gilet or rain gear, ponytails for riding.
What is considered lower class here is staying on your estate, poaching, killing pheasants with anything but a shotty or air rifle, etc. Appreciation of the outdoors is pretty much class transcendent and universal on this island, the only difference is some farmers and rich folk want private no trespassing land, but most poorer folk want free roam, but that’s the same all over Europe.
As is the racial divide, I bet Americans don’t have a strong outdoors tradition with their pakis and blacks
