Description

Dartmoor National Park covers an area of 368 square miles, making it the largest and wildest area of open country in Southern England. 

Lots of people visit the National Park to enjoy the beautiful scenery and to recharge their batteries, but many come to get active! With over 450 miles (730km) of public rights of way, there is an abundance of walking routes to suit all tastes and abilities. Dartmoor also boasts a variety of cycle routes, both on and off road, making it as challenging as you want it.  However, what makes Dartmoor really special is its cultural heritage – did you know that it has some of the best archaeological sites in Western Europe? 

Every season brings its own delights, from the beautiful bluebells and birdsong in Spring, to swathes of pink heather and yellow gorse with darting butterflies in Summer.  Autumn sees the changing colour of the landscape and bracing walks across the tors and, thanks to Dartmoor’s dark night skies, wonderful star-gazing opportunities in winter.

There’s something for everyone at the Dartmoor National Park!
