Dartmoor is an archaeologist’s delight and a landscape lover’s paradise. The national park covers 600 square miles of high, boggy plateaux and open moorland and heath, divided by the River Dart. The stark, granite uplands, with their tors, give way to the soft, wooded river valleys and their fast flowing streams. Dartmoor’s history is immense. There are prehistoric stone rows dotting Bronze Age field systems and Bronze and Iron Age hut circles leading up to hillforts. Ancient clapper bridges cross the streams and the moor’s mining heritage is evident. Ponies, cattle and sheep graze the moor and find their way into many of the villages. Drewsteignton, North Bovey and Lustleigh have traditional thatched cottages and medieval stone farmhouses. Ashburton boasts streets of slate-hung houses and Moretonhampstead has an unusual row of 17th century almshouses. The picturesque towns of Ashburton, Tavistock, Ivybridge and Okehampton encircle the park…and there is Castle Drogo, England’s newest castle. Footpaths and bridleways abound – the Two Moors Way links Dartmoor to Exmoor – and there is angling in reservoirs and rivers, along with canoeing.
