DARTMOOR THE HEART OF DEVON<br />
Dartmoor<br />
the heart of <strong>Devon</strong><br />
SITUATED IN THE SOUTH WEST OF ENGLAND, RIGHT IN THE VERY<br />
HEART OF DEVON, DARTMOOR IS A LANDSCAPE OF STUNNING<br />
VIEWS, AWE INSPIRING GRANITE TORS, DEEP WOODED VALLEYS<br />
WITH FAST FLOWING RIVERS, AND RUGGED, WIDE OPEN SPACES.<br />
But Dartmoor also has a very gentle side. Safe, quiet<br />
areas where you can picnic with the family, easy to<br />
follow trails for strolling, walking and cycling, many<br />
lovely open spaces where the children can run to their<br />
heart’s content and a huge number of child friendly<br />
and dog friendly places to stay, to eat and attractions<br />
to visit.<br />
ACTIVITIES<br />
Dartmoor has the capacity to offer something for<br />
everyone, regardless of your hobby, interest<br />
or passion.<br />
From simple circular walks, which can include a<br />
picnic spot, to a more extreme activity like a Bear<br />
Grylls survival course, there will be an activity or<br />
attraction that will bring you pleasure, enlightenment<br />
or excitement.<br />
For the children try one of the family friendly<br />
attractions, take a trip on a steam train, visit a petting<br />
farm, or book them onto a gorge scrambling course<br />
which will challenge and push them!<br />
Look out for bush craft days, circus skills or arts<br />
and crafts days at one of the camping sites, tourist<br />
attractions or National Trust properties.<br />
Outdoor fun can be had all through the year with<br />
South West Lakes, or Dartmoor National Park Ranger<br />
Ralph Club. Remember to look at the Visit Dartmoor<br />
website ‘What’s On’ pages for dozens of ideas<br />
and inspiration.<br />
You can find all the attractions and information you<br />
need on the Visit Dartmoor website!<br />
Whatever else you do, don’t forget to visit one of<br />
the award winning Dartmoor National Park Visitor<br />
Centres at Princetown, Postbridge and Haytor.<br />
