Some. Also affects tarps. Admittedy, they are probably aimed at protecting the ancient woods. But camping is already prohibited in all the locations you might be able to hammock/tarp.
Also reducing the permitted wild camping areas.

I don't really take much notice of this stuff - my version of wild camping is normally super discreet and LNT (and illegal). It's the muppets that rock up in a van, light a fire and leave a bunch of glass and cans and shite around that ruin camping spots.
Not everything illegal is wrong, not everything legal is right.

Has anyone ever killed a tree with a hammock?
Things like this seem bonkers to me- ancient woodland or not. Of all the threats to ancient woodland in this country, the tiny number of people spending the odd night in a hammock should not appear high on the list. I don't even think ancient woodlands are that "fragile" - there is a reason they are ancient! You've just got to not massively fuck with them / chop them down*.

There's actually trees in Dartmoor?
