The National Trust has urged people not to camp on Glastonbury Tor, after it has seen an increase in "inappropriate" use of the site.

The trust owns and protects the Tor, and it has said that it has recently seen an increase in "fly-camping" on its land.

It is now urging the public not to camp, to leave no trace and to respect the countryside and other visitors.

A spokesperson said: "Informing campers of this means more time is spent on discussing appropriate use of the land rather than on protecting nature.

"Our rangers report substantial increases in inappropriate use of the site, as well as people leaving debris and litter behind, and much of their time has been diverted away from vital conservation work.

"Please help us look after this special place by not camping. Please ensure any litter is taken away with you."
