Dartmoor First

DF_logo Dartmoor First is the replacement of the  Dartmoor Charter for Sustainable Tourism PDF icon (627Kb - PDF Help).

Unlike the Dartmoor Charter for Sustainable Tourism, Dartmoor First is an award for all businesses, not just tourism enterprises, on Dartmoor to recognise their commitment to sustaining Dartmoor and its special qualities. Launched in 2009 many businesses have applied to be amongst the first recipients of the Dartmoor First award. Look out for the Dartmoor First logo displayed by businesses and know that they have taken steps to put Dartmoor First.

Camping & Caravanning:
Camping and caravanning can be an enjoyable way of staying on Dartmoor.  It is important that you use a camp site and do not simply pull off the road for an overnight stop.  Apart from the fact that you may be spoiling the view or polluting streams or waterways which others have come to enjoy you will be committing an offence against local byelaws.  The maximum penalty is £100 and you are likely to be moved on by Police or National Park Rangers as you settle down for the night.
