THE Open Spaces Society has called on the Government to legalise wild camping on all open
country.
The pressure group for public access rights, which is based in Henley, was responding to a Supreme Court decision that the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985 gives walkers and horse riders a right to wild camp on the Dartmoor commons.
Kate Ashbrook, general secretary of the society, said: “We want the public to have a right to wild camp on access land designated under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. Everyone should be able, legally, to enjoy a night under the stars.”
