Discover Dartmoor
Dartmoor National Park is quite simply put- Spectacular! The park offers 350 square miles of protected moorland, granite tors, clean beautiful rivers and historic sights. There is wildlife at every turn, in spring the Skylarks are out singing the anthem of spring time on the moors, soon to be joined by the moorlands cuckoo’s. For the very lucky visitor, you may even see an otter. Wild flowers grow on the moor and in the valleys, violets, wild orchards and sundews to name only a few. The bronze age stone circles, hut circles, cairns and cists insight wonder, and even more so do the spectacular stone rows and standing stones believed to date as far back as the Neolithic era.
