February includes both Valentine’s Day and Half Term, so we’ve put together a list of events, special meals, activities and family fun for you to enjoy, whether you’re looking for a romantic mini-break or a great day out for the whole family.

Whether you’re a local, or a visitor from afar, you will relish the atmosphere.

Looking back over last year’s photos of autumn it would appear we had a fabulous time playing in the golden sunshin.

Thank fully in the majority of towns and villages on Dartmoor the original red iconic boxes remained in place

Christmas Fairs and Markets, Santa’s Grottos, Arts Festivals, Food Festivals and Carol Concerts, Dartmoor at Christmas is alive with merriment and joy. 

There’s so much to do and enjoy on Dartmoor all throughout the winter months, when that nip in the air and chance of snow covering the tors and slopes on the open moorland, makes heading out for a family walk just that bit more exhilarating.

I always get a lovely feeling of excitement when heading up onto Okehampton moor with Maisie, the wide open space is vast and the opportunities endless.

Today I’m out biking early. Cycling through the morning’s crisp autumnal air, dipping into valleys of low-lying clouds and climbing up as the clearing mist reveals yet another breath-taking view over Dartmoor.
