The establishment of National Parks in the States expanded upon under the New Deal, lead in the immediate aftermath of WW2 to the then Labour government establishing a framework for National Parks within the UK as much land had been owned and controlled exclusively by estates for the benefit of their owners alone.
Such National Parks are often close to major population centres such as the Peak District surrounding the Manchester, Sheffield, Stoke on Trent and Derbyshire areas in the North and North-west Midlands of England.
This has lead to much camping and hiking activity being made available for the millions in this area including Scouts and Girl Guilding members.
