Welcome to Dartmoor
Experience the Moor
Dartmoor is a rugged and captivating region in the Southwest of England, offering a remarkably diverse and utterly magical outdoor experience. Covering 954 square kilometres, this ancient landscape is characterized by rolling hills, vast granite tors, gorgeous green valleys, and pristine rivers.
The sensation of freedom, as you traverse wide expanses of heather and gorse clad terrain, is unparalleled. The moors are punctuated by iconic granite tors, such as Haytor and Hound Tor, providing not only breath-taking panoramic views but also a glimpse into Dartmoor’s geological history.
Dartmoor’s rivers, including the Teign, Dart, Okement and Tavy, offer opportunities for wild swimming, and picnicking along their banks. In contrast, the steep-sided valleys and open areas on the moor are a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, with semi-wild ponies, shaggy highland cattle, lots of sheep and elusive birds like skylarks and the cuckoo.
The moor is steeped in history, evident through its prehistoric stone rows, bronze age settlements, clapper bridges, and not forgetting the eerie buildings and shadows of Dartmoor’s infamous prison!
Dartmoor’s dark skies offer exceptional stargazing opportunities. On a clear night, the absence of light pollution allows for a mesmerizing celestial display, plus of course the legendary sunsets and sunrises are a huge draw for photographers.
Dartmoor is a place where the elements, history, and nature converge to create an unforgettable experience. Whether you seek solitude and introspection or adventure and exploration, Dartmoor offers a myriad of possibilities that will leave you with lasting memories of this captivating wilderness.
Getting Active on Dartmoor
Nestled in the heart of Devon, Dartmoor National Park beckons adventurers with its vast expanse of 386 square miles, offering a wonderful choice of exhilarating opportunities for those seeking an active escape.
Lace up your hiking boots and traverse the rugged terrain, reaching the pinnacle of the highest tors on foot. The panoramic views from these lofty vantage points are a reward for the intrepid explorer.
For cycling enthusiasts, Dartmoor presents a challenge with its steepest hills, providing an invigorating ride through the undulating landscape across many designated trails.
Equestrians can choose a different perspective, hacking over the moor on horseback, forging a connection with nature and the rich history that permeates the area.
Dartmoor’s allure extends to water activities as well. Brave the elements with a cold dip into the crystal-clear pools during a session of wild swimming, an experience that connects you intimately with the untamed beauty of the moors.
Alternatively, embrace the waters through kayaking, navigating through the meandering rivers that carve through the landscape.
Thrill-seekers can take on the challenge of rock climbing, scaling the granite outcrops that punctuate the moor. Each ascent offers not just a physical feat but a chance to appreciate the unique geology of Dartmoor. Meanwhile, those seeking a more tranquil day can cast a line into the peaceful rivers, indulging in the leisurely pursuit of fishing amid the serene surroundings.

Stone Lane Gardens is hosting the exhibition curated by South West Sculptors There are 58 pieces of work from 31 artists.
This is an exciting exhibition with an enormous variety of work by artists from around the South West.
There has been an annual exhibition at Stone Lane Gardens since 1992
Co-founder June Ashburner was a painter and local gallerist. She invited the strong local arts community to exhibit their work in the gardens. They produced a diverse exhibition of sculpture and installations. We endeavour to sustain that legacy of diversity with an exhibition illustrating the continuing creativity of emerging artists based in or connected to the South West.
Stone Lane Gardens is a beautifully landscaped RHS Partner Garden with National Collections of Birch and Alder trees. Groves of trees, pools and streams create a magical exhibition setting loved by artists and visitors of all ages.
South West Sculptors are a group of over 60 professional sculptors working and living in the South West Our members come from Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset.
We exist to showcase the distinctive talent and creative personality of the region,
We pride ourselves on the quality of our members and are dedicated to showcasing the best of Sculpture in the west. So, whether you’re searching for an intimate piece which will bring great beauty to your home or a statement sculpture to stand – monolithic – out of doors, South West Sculptors have the passion and the talent to enable you to realise your vision.
Thirty one of our members have come together for this exhibition which is predominantly focused on the work of our outdoor sculptors who have chosen work to complement the natural environment of Stone Lane Gardens with the beautiful Birch and Alder trees as well and ponds and streams. Sculptures are in a variety of mediums from Stone, wood, metal, and glass as well as recycled materials. The artist’s work embraces environmental themes, wildlife, journeys, and celebrations of the beauty of nature in both abstract and representational forms all combining Natural Elements.

Princetown Arts Festival calls for funding support to ensure the best possible visitor experience
This July will see the launch of the second Princetown Arts festival (20 and 21 July 2024).
Dartmoor and surrounding areas boast a vibrant artistic community, and the Princetown Arts Festival will again bring together talented artists from a wide range of artistic media. Attendees can expect to experience a wide range of art forms, including sculpture, photography, painting, literature, music, and much more. This festival is a melting pot of creativity, providing a platform for artists to showcase their talents and inspire others with their unique perspectives.
Entertainment is a key aspect in all festivals and acts in the inaugural festival were extremely well received and included folk, jazz, dance and gorgeous choral sessions. This year the PAF team hope to extend this repertoire to include more entertainment and more variation.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Dartmoor, the Princetown Arts Festival will take place in several enchanting venues throughout Princetown. This charming town, known as the highest settlement on the moors and famous for its iconic Dartmoor prison, adds an extra layer of allure to the festival experience. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore historic venues and Dartmoor itself while immersing themselves in the vibrant arts scene.
Mark your calendars for July 20th to 21st, as the Princetown Arts Festival is not to be missed. With a full weekend dedicated to celebrating Dartmoor’s artistic community, visitors will have ample time to appreciate the creativity on display and engage with the artists themselves.

Learn to needlefelt with Furzie. This workshop is designed both for complete beginners and for those wishing to broaden their skills. In the day you will make a poseable sculpture, about 6” tall, based around a wire armature. You will also learn tricks and skills to enable you to develop your own characters, which apart from the wire armature are constructed entirely of wool. No sewing or glueing involved! As Furzie, Michelle Hickman has been teaching needlefelting for over nine years and has just published her first book on the subject.
Come and join felting artist Michelle Hickman from www.furzie.co.uk in this creative workshop making a needle felted animal of your choice! IMPORTANT: Please advise what animal you would like to make when booking, so that Michelle can bring suitable colours for you.
Coffee and tea and entry to our 10 acre gardens included in the ticket price of £75.
