Situated in the southwest of England, right in the very heart of Devon, Dartmoor is a landscape of stunning views, awe-inspiring granite tors, deep wooded valleys with fast-flowing rivers, and rugged, wide-open spaces. Dartmoor is a gift for lovers of ancient history. There’s plenty of evidence of prehistoric settlement around Dartmoor, with the Bronze Age period seeing a larger population moving into the area. Whether you are looking for challenging treks across windswept moors or relaxing strolls through secluded woods, you’ve come to the right place... Dartmoor has it all!
Ancient clapper bridges - crossing streams and rivers, stone crosses; barrows, standing stones, circles, tumulus & cairns all contribute to the wealth of features to enjoy on Dartmoor.
