- "The legal situation is different in Scotland than it is in England and Wales. In England and Wales, there is no legal right to camp wild and, strictly speaking, permission should be sought. This is, however, impractical. However, in high mountain areas, and in most other hill land, wild camping is generally accepted above the intake walls, providing it is for a limited time and its fairly discreet - out of sight of houses/farms. There's always a slim chance that you'd be asked to move on, though its never happened to me. In the Peak District, wild camping is discouraged in some areas and banned completely if the moors are very dry. The best areas in England and Wales are probably the Lake District and Snowdonia - and you're likely to meet several other wild campers - and very little chance of any hassle. In Scotland, the current access legislation - just come into effect (early 2005) - is explicit about people's right to camp wild on hill land - usually more than 100 metres away from a public road - although you'd want to be much further away than that! Check out the Mar Estate near Braemar - they actually seem to encourage wild camping."
