The ironic thing is of course that places like the Peak District and other National Parks have more than enough space for everyone if the don’t all go the same spot. One of the problems at the moment is car parking. Councils and other bodies have closed car parks or are restricting their use which leads to even more pressure on those few areas you can park. The National Trust for example has limited parking and made it necessary to book a slot in advance.
I visited a small village in the Broads recently. The small council owned car park where I usually park for a walk across the deserted marshes had been illegally closed by locals placing a trailer across the entrance.
