wild camping

Although my first experience of wild camping wasn’t ideal, it opened my eyes to a wealth of walking possibilities and I felt a sense of freedom that I have never before experienced.

The right to wild camp has been lost on Dartmoor, or rather, the High Court has decreed, we never had it in the first place. Previously known as the only part of England where wild camping was allowed, on 13th January it was decreed that the 1985 Dartmoor Commons act only allowed users to pass through, not stay overnight in, Devon's largest National Park.
