In April 1932, hundreds of walkers organised a mass trespass on a mountain in the English Peak District called Kinder Scout.

The trespass was a major step in the fight for access to the British countryside. At the time, much wild land was privately owned and controlled by game-keepers.

Witness hears from one of the last survivors of the Trespass. The programme also includes accounts of the protest in the BBC archive.
