The Manchester Rambler

One rambler got off but the rest were convicted and they're given prison sentences from two to six months. It would set in motion changes that would transform how England thinks about private property. The whole thing is even memorialized in song by Ewan McCall, who later became a well-known folk singer. After the trespass the rambling groups continued to push for expanded access. There were more trespasses. And in 1951 when Britain opened its first national park it was in the Peak District where the Kinderskout trespass took place.
