+ 1. I'd have no issue with churchyard camping, other than the fact that there's a good chance one would be disturbed. A fairly wild bit of woodland or if desperate, well out of sight in a field would be my choice.
+1 on woodland.
doesn't have to be a big bit at all of course - in fact a sliver bit of woodland is less likely to be attractive to/frequented by folks up to other stuff - dogwalking etc.
sometimes it's best to be (almost) in plain sight (says someone who once camped on a grit tennis court)

That's one view of a situation which becomes ever more complex (legally, historically, politically) the more you delve into it. See thread drift on the Dartmoor Cycling Ban thread (under Campaigning) for a recent discussion here touching on just a few of the many dimensions.

Whatever the rights and wrongs, the case does seem to be having the unintended consequence of reinvigorating the general countryside access debate, which has become rather stagnant in England/Wales since the CROW Act. Questions and motions in Parliament, Labour announcing intended formal policy - all at a time when there's no shortage of political open goals.
