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. 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.
