Uncovering Dartmoors Hidden Gems

Dartmoor is of the last remaining places in the UK that offers a truly magnificent

outdoor setting with miles upon miles of hilly landscapes to explore. You can quite easily spend your holidays navigating the moors, climbing up towards the tors and escaping from the pressures of modern day life.

Children can be very demanding tourists as the majority of them wont want to spend their entire holiday stomping around in boots. This is where Dartmoor provides the solution, as there are so many activities available for families such as orienteering, climbing and caving which will leave them totally gobsmacked. For those with little girls, there are plenty of opportunities to see ponies which live wild all over the moor, you can also make a visit to the Miniature Pony Centre to see them close up or even take a ride on one thanks to the numerous stables that are dotted all around the moor.

The landscape of Dartmoor looks very old and outdated which would make it very easy to assume that the culture surrounding the area is boring. However, this is not the case as the arts still thrive in the local area, as well as the vibrant crafts industry and enjoying a relaxing meal is often an amazing experience as many of the chefs who are highly regarded are heading to the moors. Ensure that you save enough money to enjoy a meal at either Gidleigh Park or 22 Mill Street in Chagford.

Almost every square inch of Dartmoor reveals a haunted past such as haunted castles and abbeys, the past never seems too far away and seems to pop up every now and then. Almost all the ancient buildings or landmarks are associated with a tale of some sort or entwined in various myths and legends.

So the next question to ask is when is the best time to take a break on Dartmoor? Almost all of the seasons have their own merits. However, during the winter months, the moors are covered with snow which makes it the perfect winter setting.
