Cornwood, Devon, UK. 21st January 2023. Approximately 3000 campaigners converge on the village of Cornwood within Dartmoor National Park to demonstrate against wild camping restrictions.

Last week, the right to wild camp in the park without permission from the landowner was lost after a wealthy landowner took the park authority to court. Dartmoor was the last place in England or Wales where there was a right to wild camp. Campaigners have said this agreement is not good enough as it means only a small portion of Dartmoor will be available for wild camping, when until recently they had access to the whole park. At protesters set off to walk from Cornwood War Memorial to Stall Moor for the main ceremony - to summon Old Crockern, the spirit of Dartmoor - before returning to Cornwood around
