Wild camping on Dartmoor is legal, supreme court rules

Case came to supreme court after court of appeal determined the term open-air recreation' included camping

Wild camping will be allowed on Dartmoor after the supreme court ruled that a multimillionaire landowner was wrong to ban it on his land.

Dartmoor was - until the legal action - the only place in England where wild camping without the permission of the landowner was enshrined in law. In Scotland, people have enjoyed this right since 2003.
