Beautiful wildernesses; tiny budgets and environmentally-friendly… What’s not to like?

Welcome to the world of wild camping, where anyone can camp, sleep and wake in Britain
and Ireland’s most secluded and beautiful places.

From getting back to nature with a hammock, some snacks and a few litres of bottled water, to enjoying a pub dinner and camping out in the garden afterwards, this book shows you how to get stuck into wild camping in all its forms. It’s all accessible right here, without the need for a flight or a big budget.

This guide opens up this amazing experience for all, covering:
what is wild camping and why bother?
different ways to do it (bivvying, tenting, hammocking, on the water)
the rules and staying legal
getting started: essential gear, food and water, where to go, when to go, safety
100 of the best places to go in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland

Each of the 100 locations links to at least one trail (a path, river, canal, track, bridleway or drovers’ road), connecting you to thousands of miles of ‘off-piste’ routes through true wilderness.

This thoroughly updated Third Edition features eye-catching photos and helpful maps, and weighs up the impact of the Dartmoor legal battle. With a Foreword by Ed Stafford, Wild Camping gives you the knowledge and inspiration to escape the noise, clutter and stress of day-to-day life and go wild.

Beautiful wildernesses, tiny budgets and environmentally friendly… What’s not to like?
