Dartmoor National Park is one of the last great deserts in the United Kingdom, covered with heather-covered moors and rough terrain.
Named Dartmoor National Park in 1951, it is a large, uncluttered countryside spanning 368 square miles. High granite towers, round and fixed rocks of mysterious huts, ancient forests, strong clapper bridges, fast-flowing streams, Dartmoor ponies, a landscape full of chaotic cities, and isolated villages.
There is so much to see and do in this unique area. But first, you have to experience it by reaching out to Dartmoor. The National Park is easily accessible by car. But there are options on the bus, but it is possible to visit a village of your choice, but there is no public transport to Moors in general. Once you get to Dartmoor you can walk to many places. Another Dartmoor activity that has become very popular among families who come here is letterboxing. More information about these unique activities can be found at the High Moorland Guest Center in Princetown. Dartmoor is a wonderful landscape for you to enjoy geo-caching.
Dartmoor travels many miles across footpaths and runways. But there are two main routes with amazing views. That is, there is a circuit to visit the fascinating Dartmoor towns and villages and Two Moors connecting Dartmoor and Exmoor.
However, if you can’t get the right pitch here, don’t despair. So you can invest in a good capo. These include the serene Benedictine monastery at Buckfast Abbey, in modern Castle Drogo, where you can buy honey and mead.
There are amazing layers as well as different layers to discover in Dartmoor. It has intriguing geology and fascinating archeology, centuries of history, mining heritage, local legends and folklore, and its unique wildlife and flora. The Dartmoor National Parks Authority’s guides, stories, and events help to enhance the understanding and enjoyment of Dartmoor, and Dartmoor’s unique heritage can be further explored at the Dartmoor Life Museum in Okehampton.
However, Dartmoor is special for many other reasons. Dartmoor Shopping is unique in that although the shops are quite small, there is a fascinating variety of shops, including bookstores, walking equipment wholesalers, specialty caterers, antiques, and art and art galleries. Dartmoor culture is also very strong, with new literary and musical festivals such as the traditional celebrations of Tavistock Goose Fair, as well as events such as The Two Moors Festival and Chagstock.
