Vizzit Dartmoor National Park

The Dartmoor National Park covers an area of 368 square mile and is quite simply breathtaking. It is the largest area of open moor land in southern England and will charm you with its wild, heather covered moors grazed by delightful Dartmoor ponies and Blackface sheep, well weathered granite tors, unruly rivers and pretty streams.

You can join one of the local guided walks, try your hand at horse riding or challenge yourself to climb some of the many rock formations. If that all sounds too exhausting, why not treat yourself to a delicious Devon Cream Tea.
Okehampton is a quaint market town and is a great place for anyone who loves the outdoors. There is also a Victorian shopping arcade and a museum to tempt you.
You could explore Tavistock, an ancient tin marketing town, with picturesque streets and also the old ruins of a Benedictine abbey.

Dartmoor is a fascinating and diverse area, you won’t be disappointed!!!
