Wild camping banned on part of Dartmoor in test case
Dartmoor ponies - that have roamed freely over the land for centuries - are the symbol of the moor.The owner of an estate on Dartmoor has won the right to remove people "wild" or backpack camping on his land.Dartmoor was the only area of England and Wales where under a local law there had been an assumed right to wild camp without the landowner's permission.
If there were such a right, he said it would mean "the landowner would have suffered a loss of control or a usurpation of his rights over his own land." The Park Authority had argued it was "very different to camping in family-sized tents or in camper vans and motor homes, which on Dartmoor are directed to designated or registered sites".
"We are keen to work with landowners and other stakeholders to see how we can sustain opportunities for people to wild camp on Dartmoor," he said.
