•The Right to Backpack Is on Trial in the United Kingdom's Supreme Court
81% Informative
Dartmoor National Park is the only remaining spot in England where dispersed camping is allowed without landowner permission.
A 1985 law created a presumed right of access for members of the public.
A multimillionaire financier who purchased the park’s 4,000-acre Blachford Estate in 2013 sued to block campers from setting up on his property.
The case has now made its way to the UK 's Supreme Court .
In late 2023 , the party reversed course, with sources saying pressure from rural landowners dissuaded them.
As the court heard arguments on Tuesday , pro-access groups gathered outside, holding banners and playing music.
The outcome of this important case could have a far-reaching effect on outdoor activities.
