Court of Appeal gives green light for wild camping on Dartmoor

Members of the public have the right to wild camp in Dartmoor National Park, the Court of Appeal has ruled. In January, a High Court judge ruled a nearly 40-year-old piece of legislation did not give people the right to pitch tents overnight on Dartmoor Commons without landowners’ permission. Alexander and Diana Darwall brought the successful legal challenge against the Dartmoor National Park Authority (DNPA), claiming some campers cause problems to livestock and the environment.
