EDITORS COMMENTS
Mass Trespass at Kinder Scout: Peak District Ramblers Make History in the Battle for Public Access to Open Countryside This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of rambling and public access to the countryside in England. Taken on the 24th of April 1932, the image shows a determined group of Peak District ramblers making their way towards Kinder Scout, the iconic moorland peak in the heart of the Peak District National Park. The occasion was the mass trespass, an organized event aimed at highlighting the denial of access for walkers to open countryside. The ramblers, dressed in hiking boots and clothing suitable for the rugged terrain, march towards their goal with unwavering resolve. Their faces bear expressions of determination and defiance, as they were well aware of the potential confrontation with gamekeepers who had long enforced restrictions on public access to the moorland, believing it to be their private domain. The mass trespass was a significant turning point in the struggle for public rights to roam the countryside. The event attracted hundreds of walkers, and although the day began peacefully, violent scuffles between the ramblers and gamekeepers ensued. The incident brought national attention to the issue, leading to the establishment of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act in 1949, which enshrined the public's right to roam over open countryside in England and Wales. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the passion and perseverance of the rambling community in their quest for access to the great outdoors. It stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of those who fought for the right to roam and enjoy the beauty of the English countryside.
