Supreme Court backs wild camping on Dartmoor

The legal right to wild camp on Dartmoor has been upheld by the Supreme Court in a decision that is likely to reignite the debate over public access to land in England.

Judges unanimously rejected an appeal by landowners Alexander and Diana Darwall who said people should not be able to camp without permission from landowners.

Miles Davis & Jonathan Morris: Supreme Court backs wild camping on Dartmoor

Some good news for a change - we have been waiting for this decision for months. For once, the decision went in favour of the common people, and against the acquisitive billionaires.

(I was always going to continue wild camping on Dartmoor anyway 😊)

This is a good result for England!
