Dartmoor National Park Authority has just published a full colour guide to help you make the most of what’s on offer in Dartmoor National Park this autumn and winter.
Dartmoor National Park is one of Britain’s breathing spaces, offering an unspoilt environment, enabling you to try things that are exciting and new. It is a place where you can seek out challenge or relax and unwind. The new guide lists over 160 local events, guided walks and activities, to help you reconnect with what’s important in life. There are superb village and farmers’ markets and a host of other local events listed, as well children’s activities and guided walks suitable for a wide range of abilities, organised by Dartmoor National Park Authority. The guide also contains some great ideas for short breaks on Dartmoor, with suggested itineraries based in a selection of Dartmoor settlements. There is travel and accommodation information and a full colour map detailing the start points for all Dartmoor National Park Authority’s guided walks.

News Releases from all UK National Parks (external link, opens new window)
National Parks cover 10% of the land area of England, Wales and Scotland. They are of special value to the whole nation because of their great beauty, their wildlife and cultural interests and the opportunities they offer for quiet enjoyment. However, they are not nationally owned - the land is in the hands of many landowners or occupiers including farmers. Over 33,500 people live inside the Dartmoor National Park and many millions of visits are made to it each year.
