Where can i legally camp in the UK?

[ROBERTS2005]

Hello, i am 16 years old and i am looking for somewhere in Leicestershire for myself and some friends to camp out and have a night under the stars. Trouble is, that there doesnt appear to be any public land around my town that allows me to camp there! We would go to a campsite but we need an over 18 to camp with us!

I know this might not really be in the right category but i realllllly hope someone can help!

Thanks!

right first of all i no the right place u can go,, i live in derby,, and have u ever heard of ashborne? if so the place u want to go is dove dale,, ive been there a few times,, now u dont want to go to the main camp site in dove dale cuz it cost to much n like u sed u have to have some one over the age of 18,
this is ever hard to explain to you and i hope i can do it well lol,,
now wen u go to dove dale u need a car to get u there,, u go over some cattle grids n its like going down a privte land but u arent,,
now the place u want is a HOUSE and they own 2 fields there not big like the normal fields u see about,
if u go to the house it sud say on the door campers round the back,, and its only like �2.50 a night WELL CHEAP!! lol,, there fields are close by so they can hear most things,
ive been there about 5times with mates
n ive had some right good laughs drinking all night hearing the cows in day lol,,
now i dont think i have explained it well cuz its hard to explain where it is,,,
just message back if need any more help,, which i think u will do lol,,
hope its ok for u any way,,

Phone a few local farmers and ask them!

In the Uk it's registered camp sites only unless you have permision from a private land owner.

I agree with RATTER, it can't hurt to politely ask a few local farmers etc.

As Ratter and Tbird have said, try phoning a few farmers, its what I and a couple of friends used to do, you'd be surprised at how co-operative most are.

Have you tried Canal St. in Manchester, I believe there is quite a lot of 'camp' goings-on there
