Campaigners in Devon are calling for a right to the riverbank after finding their local river, the Dart, has 108 separate owners, with an eighth of it owned via offshore companies.

Locals used site visits, angling maps, Companies House records and Land Registry data to find out who owns the River Dart.

The government in its election manifesto last year promised to implement nine new “river walks” in England to extend public access to the countryside, after it U-turned on a previous policy to enshrine a right to roam in law.
