Dartmoor
Rolling valleys, bogs and wetland, waterfalls and well trodden paths, ancient, eerie forests and lonely ruins. Sometimes ominous, challenging, extreme, sometimes welcoming, heart warming; always breathtaking, always changing, the landscape of Dartmoor is alive in every sense of the word
The highest point on Dartmoor is High Willhays Tor measuring 621 m (2,039 ft) above sea level
There are over 160 tors on Dartmoor. Tors are where the granite rock that is underneath Dartmoor shows through
Dartmoor National park is 954 km² (368 sq mi)
There are three visitor centres at Dartmoor, one at Princetown, one at Haytor and one at Postbridge
