Dartmoor National Park
Dartmoor is an area of moorland in the centre of the English county of Devon in South West England. Protected by National Park status, it covers 953 km² (368 mile²).
Dartmoor
Wild and untamed.
Dartmoor is known for its tors - large hills, topped with outcrops of bedrock, which in granite country such as this are usually rounded boulder-like formations.
Dartmoor abounds with myths and legends. It is reputedly the haunt of pixies, a headless horseman, a mysterious pack of 'spectral hounds', and a large black dog. During the Great Thunderstorm of 1638, Dartmoor was even said to have been visited by the Devil.
