Dartmoor

Dartmoor is not just about the ponies, there is so much more to this beautiful landscape than the wildlife or the dramatic looking scenery. Though an encounter with the pure breed Dartmoor Ponies, who have wondered the land for centuries is always a special experience. Dartmoor is full of history and heritage to explore, with records for this part of Devon going back to Neolithic times. Dartmoor is sure to awaken the explorer in you.

The largest number of archaeological remains in Europe can be found in Dartmoor, with many ancient villages and museums to whet your appetite for history and culture. There are a large number of stone circles, stone crosses and menhirs. It is also home to all manner of wildlife and various parts of the famous moor are Special Areas of Conservation. Get your cameras at the ready for visiting the Zoological park, the River Dart Country Park or Lydford Gorge, whether you’re a professional or amateur photographer, it is easy to capture the natural beauty of the region.

Dartmoor is a family friendly destination, with many attractions from Tree Surfers, full of cross rope bridges, zip lines, walkways and Tarzan swings to challenge and excite you, to the historic South Devon Railway, where you can reminisce with a steam train trip, to Trago Mills, where you can enjoy a family fun park and discounted shopping.

Want to visit specifically to see the ponies? Well, how about getting acquainted with a range of cute animals at Pennywell Farm?

Fancy getting into the great outdoors? How about showing off your inner daredevil with a boating trip on Roadford Lake? This lake is the largest inland water in the south west and includes everything from boating to den building and exploring the surround woodland.

Visitors wanting a walking holiday need look no further, the Forestry Commission’s Bellever Forest. Choose from one of the way marked walking trails or join the historic bridleway, The Lich Way. You can find free downloadable audio walks for Postbridge and Bellever on Dartmoor National Park’s website and keep your eyes peeled for the numerous numerous archaeological sites to discover as you explore Bellever. If cycling is more your bag, Bike Guide Devon should be your first port of call.

If you’re looking for something a bit cosier, you can take a stroll around the many picturesque villages to be found in this part of Devon. Many villages still have thatched cottages, traditional old pubs, like the Arundell Arms Hotel, market towns, cobbled streets and everything you need to be transported into a simpler time. But if that sounds a bit too quaint for you, there are also two major cities within a fifteen minute’s drive. The Devon Guild of Craftsmen are based in this part of the county and offer a range of art and craft workshops to suit any ability.

Dartmoor also is a haven for unique accommodation, from country houses, to small b and bs, hotels and hostels. Browse the wide range on offer here.

Not content with having all of that going for it, Dartmoor is also perfect for those who enjoy a pop culture reference. The literary greats, such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, used Dartmoor for inspiration, Sherlock Holmes’ adventure with the Hound of the Baskerville having been based on the Dartmoor countryside. If that wasn’t enough for you, Stephen Spielberg used the landscape in his epic, War Horse, and Postbridge can be spotted in Rosmunde Pilcher. Dartmoor is as fascinating now as it was hundreds of years ago, full of tradition, folklore, farmland, modernity and history to give you a well-rounded trip.
