Wild campers scored a major victory in EnglandThe UK’s supreme court has upheld the legal right to wild camp at a treasured English beauty spot – a judgment that was about much more than simply pitching a tent. Wednesday’s ruling followed attempts by landowner Alexander Darwall to end the right to wild camp on Dartmoor – the last place in England where it was permitted. In 2023, the high court agreed, ending the right to camp on Dartmoor. To campaigners, the judgment sniffed of protecting vested interests and was swiftly overturned by the court of appeals. This week, the supreme court upheld that ruling.
