Known for its distinctive granite tors, this national park covers 954 square kilometers of open moorland and deep river valleys. Dartmoor is famous for its wild, untouched beauty—a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The park’s most iconic features are its dramatic rock formations, a result of millions of years of geological activity. Among the rolling hills, you can discover unique flora and fauna that thrive in this rare environment.

Echt coole Landschaften, traumhaft zum Wandern und spazieren gehen mit tollen Aussichten oben auf den Hügeln mit den sogenannten "Tor". Der Weg dahin ist cooked wenn man sich nicht gut informiert, da man dann auf winzigen Straßen wo man kaum alleine durchpasst an anderen Autos vorbeikommen muss. Es empfiehlt sich bei den Visitor Centers zu parken, um such noch Informationen abzuholen.
