Dartmoor, Moorland in Devon, England
Dartmoor spans 954 square kilometers of varied terrain, featuring exposed granite peaks, deep valleys, and rivers across southern Devon's upland area.
The region holds the largest concentration of Bronze Age archaeological sites in the United Kingdom, including stone circles and ancient burial grounds.
The landscape has influenced literature and folklore, serving as the setting for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'.
Visitors can access multiple information centers throughout the national park, which provide maps, guided walk schedules, and local accommodation details.
The area maintains a population of semi-wild ponies that have grazed on these moors for centuries, contributing to vegetation management.
