Enjoy Dartmoor
Dartmoor National Park Authority’s popular Enjoy Dartmoor magazine has been published ready for the new season. This full-colour FREE guide to the National Park is packed with useful information, interesting features, and plenty of ideas for having fun outdoors on Dartmoor plus a handy pull-out map.

What to do on Dartmoor – whether you spend a couple of hours, a day, a long weekend or longer on Dartmoor, we guarantee you’ll be back for more. Find out about raiders, robbers and tinners, cuckoos, quarries and carnivorous plants or follow in the footsteps of Conan Doyle - on the trail of the Hound of the Baskervilles.

Get bogged down near Haytor on a fantastic new board walk bog experience – follow the trail and find out more about our Magnificent Mires!
As seen on screen – a glimpse through the lens at some of the great, and possibly not so great, films that have featured Dartmoor over the years – from Hollywood to Bollywood!
Ghastly and ghostly – dare to peek into the realm of phantom coaches, evil water sprites and other things that go bump in the Dartmoor night!
