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.

New Exhibition ‘Spirit of Place’ Captures Dartmoor’s Enchanting Landscape
Friday 13th Sep – Saturday 2nd Nov
Dominic Welch Rosie Saunders
Green Hill Arts, renowned for its dedication to showcasing thought provoking art works, would like to announce its upcoming exhibition, ‘Spirit of Place’ featuring works by artists Rosie Sanders and Dominic Welch. The exhibition will be open to the public from Friday the 13th of September, until Saturday the 2nd of November.
Dartmoor’s expansive moorlands, ancient stone circles, and rugged tors, evoke a profound sense of spirituality. The natural beauty and historical significance of Dartmoor, fosters strong connections that resonate in this exhibition, where Rosie Sanders and Dominic Welch perfectly complement each other’s practices.
Rosie Sanders is internationally celebrated for her intricate botanical and landscape paintings that “transcend pure representation or scientific documentation.” This exhibition features recent works where Sanders embraces the dramatic intensity of charcoal, emerging from darkness into light, we are presented with subtle monochromatic landscapes, that offer insight into how she views and translates her experiences.
Dominic Welch’s sculptures normally sit outside in nature where his stone and metal shapes appear dominant, but not to the detriment of the surrounding environments. Here his forms interrupt the gallery, abstract and fluid they are a dynamic contrast to the nature inspired mark making within Rosie Sanders drawings and paintings.
Curator Carol Harvey discusses her thought process: “When visiting Rosie’s studio, with this exhibition in mind, I was immediately drawn to the landscapes and depictions of dusk and dawn. I think when you visit, you will understand why. Because Dominic’s work feels so organic and very striking, it was important that his pieces weren’t ‘alone’ in the gallery, I felt we owed it to his work, to provide an environment as special as the artists’ gardens, for which they were designed. This exhibition is a profound conversation between two artists work, whose individual practice grows through their distinct connection to the ancient landscape that surrounds us. All works in this exhibition are very tactile, and very earthy. I can’t wait for people to see it.”
The private view will be held on Thursday the 12th of September from 6:30pm – 8:00pm, providing an opportunity for attendees to meet the artists and enjoy refreshments.
Entry is free. The Green Hill Arts Gallery is open from 10am-4pm weekly from Thursday to Saturday). The Gallery is situated at the top of Fore Street, Moretonhampstead, close to the Parish Church. Parking is in the Court Street and Station Road car parks.

Here is a wonderful way to make a beautiful and sustainable Christmas decoration that you can enjoy year after year!
You have a choice to make either an Angel which will sit around 35-40am tall or one that is 60 cm tall and look perfect glowing in a window.
She will be made from local, natural willow grown on the Somerset levels and will be finished off with little fairy lights to make a great addition to your home decorations or alternatively to give as a special gift.
This small class is suitable for beginners and will be very relaxing.
