From what I understand, it's illegal to carry any sharp blade or pointy object in a public place without good reason. Public place includes anywhere where members of the public can access, so your car, and camping sites / wilderness gatherings are public place. You have much more freedom on private land.
Good reason is generally common sense, you have to be able to justify it to the police. A machete at a campsite, yes, a machete at Tesco without a receipt, no. An exemption is made for the 3 inch folding knives; you can say "General utility" when asked, you don't need anything specific.

Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field, Until there is no more room, So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land!
