Special qualities of Dartmoor National Park
“I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming War Horse on Dartmoor.” Steven Spielberg.
Dartmoor’s granite tors, rich coloured rivers and open landscapes have inspired authors, poets and artists for years. From Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie’s detective Poirot and the evocative works of Widgery to the contemporary folk songs of Seth Lakeman.
Steeped in history Dartmoor is the most important site for Bronze Age archaeology in western Europe, it’s home to the Dartmoor pony which can be seen grazing wild with foals close by and it’s the only place in the world where you can find the tiny Bog Hoverfly. In Dartmoor’s woodlands you might spot the world’s largest land slug the whopping Black Ash Slug that can exceed 20cm!
Find a river side spot for a picnic, walk Stallmoor stone row – the longest in the world, explore a hut circle and cross a clapper bridge or climb a tor and take in the natural beauty of Dartmoor, it will leave you uplifted, refreshed and revived.
Best for
camping
Dartmoor is the only national park in England where wild camping is permitted – and a night under canvas is a fine way to get acquainted with Devon’s mysterious moorlands. Wherever you pitch up, you will notice the park’s defining landmarks are its tors – granite outcrops rising over windswept grasses where wild ponies graze. Haytor and Hound Tor are popular spots; for a real adventure, strike out to remote Fur Tor. Accessed by a long walk over boggy ground, it’s a magnificently secluded spot for a night under starry skies.
