Dartmoor National Park

Haytor – Widecombe in the Moor – Dartmeet – Postbridge – Lydford Gorge – Brentor Church – Wistman’s Wood.

This rugged, untamed landscape in Devon, England, is a treasure trove of history, folklore, and natural beauty. The granite tors, shaped over millions of years, stand like ancient sentinels over the moorlands, while the wooded river valleys provide sanctuary for diverse wildlife.

Dartmoor is steeped in mystery and legend—from tales of pixies and ghosts to eerie myths that have inspired literature. Arthur Conan Doyle famously drew inspiration from Dartmoor’s haunting atmosphere for The Hound of the Baskervilles. The park is also home to Neolithic tombs, Bronze Age stone circles, and medieval farmhouses, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who walked these lands thousands of years ago.

It’s a place where history whispers through the wind and nature reigns supreme.
