Dartmoor Tourism

Dartmoor National Park in Devon, England, is the perfect place for an outdoor adventure. Located in the south of England, Dartmoor is a vast area of moorland with stunning landscapes, historic sites, and plenty of outdoor activities. With its deep valleys, rocky outcrops, tors, and rivers, Dartmoor is a paradise for hikers and nature lovers.

The main attraction of this national park is its natural beauty - miles of unspoiled landscape, tranquil rivers, and rolling hills. It is also home to a variety of wildlife, including ponies, otters, stoats, and birds. Key tourist spots and attractions include the ancient ruins of Castle Drogo, the atmospheric Lydford Gorge, and the ancient burial sites at Dartmoor. The stunning vistas from Haytor Rocks and High Willhays are also a must-see. The park is also home to a variety of outdoor activities, such as horse riding, mountain biking, and fishing. In addition, there are plenty of opportunities for camping, as well as other activities, such as climbing and kayaking. The town of Princetown, located in the heart of Dartmoor, is a great place to stay and explore the park. There are plenty of restaurants, pubs, and cafes to enjoy, as well as a wealth of shops and galleries. When visiting Dartmoor, be sure to dress appropriately and respect the environment. Ensure you have the correct maps and navigational equipment, and always follow the Countryside Code when out and about.
