Dartmoor is the Jewel in the heart of the West Country and its High Moor is one of the last true wilderness to be found in England today. Dartmoor has been a National Park since 1951 and now encompasses an area of 368 square miles of Devon's most beautiful moorland, countryside and villages. Nowhere else will you find such a unique blend of features that show mans occupation spanning a period of some 5,000 years coupled with such mystical enchantment and breath taking beauty. Once you have experienced Dartmoor you to will find yourself drawn back to explore it again and again

With over 400 miles of paths and open moorland, walkers will find Dartmoor's delights inexhaustible. The energetic can take a hike along the Two Moors Way, strollers can watch for the flash of a kingfisher along the riverside path from Fingle Bridge, and on a National Park Authority guided walk you can navigate the Moor, identify plants, or marvel at megaliths in the moonlight.

There are challenges for the more adventurous: the Dewerstone where you can scale the granite outcrops through a canopy of oaks; and, on an organised basis, canoeing down the Dart loop from Newbridge to Holne Bridge, and hang-gliding from King Tor.

Perhaps you prefer cycling along peaceful lanes or following the Devon Coast-to-Coast Network across the north and west of the National Park. Why not explore the Moor on horseback, saddling up for an evening's ride to Buckland Beacon to watch the sun set over the Dart Valley? For ardent anglers there are brown trout and salmon to be hooked; pack a picnic and spend a day at one of the many reservoirs or on the riverbanks of the Dart. Feeling below par? Blow away the cobwebs with a brisk round at one of eight golf courses.

Whatever your temperament or ability, Dartmoor has something to offer. You will be dwarfed by its magnificence, fascinated by its diversity, and will want to see its beauty preserved for those who follow. Whether you're climbing or fishing, cycling, riding or walking, tread lightly on Dartmoor.
