Dartmoor National Park

Dartmoor is high, open and granite, and unlike anywhere else in the south. The tors stand up out of the moor like ruined castles, the rivers cut wooded gorges off its edges, and the middle is a bog you need a compass for. It is the only place in England with a right to wild camp.

Okehampton serves the high northern moor and High Willhays, Princetown the centre, Tavistock and Ivybridge the south. The military ranges on the north moor close some days; the walk pages say which.
