Sometimes it happens that you walk along the narrow streets, wide squares of a town, pass by old buildings and modern buildings made of glass and concrete and you want space so much! Dartmoor National Park is just the perfect place for this!

It is one solid incredible space and freedom! And how wonderful the views are there! The nature of Dartmoor is one of the most unusual and beautiful in the UK. In addition to the beautiful and sometimes breathtaking nature, there are a lot of interesting historical artifacts. Dartmoor is also one of the oldest nature reserves in the Kingdom.

It holds the secrets of ancient sanctuaries of the bronze and iron ages, dolmens. Remains of ancient human sites are still found there. They date back to the Neolithic era. So if you find any unusual stone, do not rush to kick it. What if it's an artifact?

According to the calculations of archaeologists, people settled on the territory of Dartmoor for 2000 years BC. There you can find altars, mysterious stone circles, bridges, and menhirs. These are high stone pillars that the ancient inhabitants put on the site of graves.

Centuries later, small towns were built on the territory of Dartmoor. You can even see the ruins of castles. Ruins of the castle and the setting sun... this is amazing!

And the wild wastes around were used for hunting! By the way, the animals that were hunted by the inhabitants of the middle ages still roam the plains and hills of Dartmoor. For example, rare bird species hide in heath. And Dartmoor ponies walk through the green herds.

It would seem that there is a park there. And what can you do there instead of walking? In Dartmoor, you can organize a bike ride, a small camping trip, or a romantic ride. The territory of the reserve is so vast that it includes rocks and mountain rivers. Therefore, if you have dreamed of trying rafting or rock climbing this place is perfect for you!
