A wealth of amazing historical and ecological marvels.

Dartmoor National Park has the highest concentration of bronze age habitation remains in Europe. Stone circles, dwellings, cairns, tombs and megoliths abound.

It was a centre of human habitation and worship long before the pyramids were built in Egypt. To stand at sites that were occupied more than 4000 years ago is truly awesome, especially when due to the preservation of the National Park, littlemodern civilisation encroches near to these sites. You can easily go back in time, seeing the landscape just as our ancestors did all those millennia ago.

We visit some of the finest examples of bronze age sites and seek to find answers to the mysteries posed by these amazing granite megaliths.

Wildlife in Devon & Cornwall is one of the jewels in crown of traveling through this part of the world. Too numerous to mention in variety, one or two species have to be highlighted. Wild Boar now inhabit Dartmoor and surrounds. A resurgence of this once extinct-in-the-wild swine.

Controversial creatures like badgers and foxes are still regarded as common. However, they remained threatened by pro-hunting and livestock stakeholders. Another revival of fortunes has been experienced by birds of prey, particularly the common buzzard. Perrigrine falcons, Merlins, Sparrow-hawks and Kestrels are regular notches in the log of all twitchers.

Large Cat sightings are frequently reported in this part of UK and discussion is lively as to whether Pumas, Lynx, Leopard and even Lion are now entrenched as a sustainable wild population on Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor and Exemoor. When you look at the suitability of the habitat and vast potential foodsources it is hard to dismiss these reports as all the work of local scrumpy cider !

We investigate all the likely locations for big cats and other fascinating wildlife species resident in this area, ensuring that you have the best possible chance of getting some memorable photo opportunities - hopefully it will be you who gets the defining "big cat shot" that settles the argument once and for all!

The Beasts of Dartmoor & Exemoor

The Jurassic Coast

If you have never been fossil hunting, then the experience of the Jurassic Coast is goign to be a memorable one. There are few places in the world that offer the vast number of fossils to be seen here on the border of Devon and Dorset.

This area is now proclaimed a World Heritage Site.

World Heritage status was achieved because of the site's unique insight into the Earth Sciences as it clearly depicts a geological ‘walk through time' spanning the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

Ancient Stone Crosses

The ancient stone crosses of Dartmoor represent one of the moor's most mysterious features. For centuries these granite monoliths have stood as enigmatic sentinels upon the moor, their origins shrouded in the mist of time. Some were set up in the days when the Church held lofty power, and the influence of the monasteries spread throughout the land. Some mark out ancient tracks - but for many of the crossses, there is no certainty of the reasons for their individual location nor accuracy of the date they were set down.

You can share in this mystery, touching, photographing and transporting your mind back to times long past, when early inhabitants of Dartmoor put massive effort and time into erecting these incredible monoliths.

Autumnal colours and remote tranquility finish off a perfect day of exploration in Dartmoor National Park.
