DARTMOOR

Rising to over 2000ft above sea level, Dartmoor, known for its stunning beauty and wildness, has a wonderful feeling of peace and solitude, often with nothing more than sheep and Dartmoor ponies for company and the haunting sound of buzzards overhead.  

The many ancient sites and archaeological remains give a wealth of history, and the abundant legends and myths add a certain mysteriousness to this stunning area.

Along the walks you will discover ancient burial mounds, stone rows, hut circles and stone crosses as well as the remains of tin and copper workings.

From the wild openness of the moor you will descend into wooded valleys with rivers full of brown trout and salmon.  Hidden in these valleys are cosy villages with cob and thatch houses, local pubs and tea rooms selling the famous Devon cream teas.
