Dartmoor National Park is a
beautiful moorlandlandscape, with wooded valleys and wind swept Tors.
369 square miles in area, with about 31,000 people living in it, about
10 million visits are made to the area each year. All the land is privately
owned, but the public are able to roam freely on unenclosed, open moorland,
on both foot and horseback. There are also about 600 miles of public
rights of way.
Dartmoor is a rich habitat for wildlife and the commons
have free ranging sheep, ponies and cattle on them. But don’t
feed the animals! It is an offence to do so and feeding encourages
them to the roadside, where they are all too frequently killed or injured.
Remember these animals are semi-wild and may kick or bite. The area
also has a wealth of archaeological remains. visitor centres in and
around the park are located at Princetown, Ivybridge, Tavistock, Newton
Abbot, Ashburton and Moretonhampstead.
