Dartmoor National Park

Plymouth, Bickleigh, Devon, England

With high craggy moorland and fast-flowing rivers, Dartmoor National Park in southwest England is renowned for being one of the country's finest landscapes. An extraordinary place, mysterious and brooding, Dartmoor is known for its wildness and striking granite rock formations, for being a place of remoteness and tranquility. Many Stone Age tombs and Bronze Age stone circles exist here, as well as medieval farmhouses and other archeological gems, and the National Park always has heritage projects underway to clear vegetation, making sure these treasures are preserved and protected. The unique landscape has been the inspiration of many writers and painters, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Hound of the Baskervilles" which is set against Dartmoor's wilderness. There is an award-winning National Park Visitor Centre at Princetown where you can learn all about the history of Dartmoor and while here you can also visit the prison museum, a foreboding building built during the Napoleonic Wars. Dartmoor National Park is a truly fascinating place to visit, full of tradition, folklore, inspiration and history.
