So delighted by this news!! Supreme Court rules that the stars are for everyone ✨ Huge congratulations to @righttoroam.bsky.social 👏🎉 Now Government must urgently pass a comprehensive Right to Roam Act, to protect & extend public rights of responsible access to nature across England

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

I was at the Supreme Court this morning to hear the great news in the Dartmoor wild camping case, and agree with @righttoroam.bsky.social movement that we should pass a new Right to Roam Act to defend and extend the public’s rights to access nature in England.

Guy Shrubsole @guyshrubsole.bsky.social · May 21

Victory for wild camping at the Supreme Court!

The verdict is a relief– but Dartmoor remains the *only* place in England & Wales where the public has a right to wild camp

Labour must now pass a new right to roam act to defend & extend the public’s access rights
