Dartmoor National Park

Dartmoor National Park is an area of extensive heaths with an area of nearly one thousand m2. There are several hundred rocky hills here, and around ten of them are organized every year a trek called Ten Tors Challenge. There are also remains from the Bronze Age: menhirs, tombs, circles and stone ditches, including the world's longest, 3.3 km long, Upper Erme. It is also worth seeing Edward's Drogo castle.

There are many birds in Dartmoor, including cormorants, buzzards, crows and snipe. This area is also known for the Dartmoor ponies, small and tough, still grazing wild in some places.

According to numerous legends, on the moors you can find fairies, pixies, and even a ghost of a headless rider. Haunted are considered, among others the Bowerman's Nose rock and the nineteenth-century Jay's Grave crypt. Dartmoor heaths were also an inspiration to writers such as Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie.
