Dartmoor National Park & Exmoor National Park
The west country has two lovely National Parks in the form of Dartmoor National Park and Exmoor National Park. Both are famous for their ponies which roam wild on the moorland areas. Although smaller than other UK national Parks these two still pack a punch and are very much worth a visit.
Dartmoor
Dartmoor National Park is wholly in Devon and is famous for its granite tors, bronze age stone circles, and areas of mystery. The mixture of wide open moorlands and deep river valleys results in a variety of habitats and thus rich wildlife making the area a nature watcher’s paradise. The moor is dotted with market towns and medieval villages which contrast with the wilds of the moorland habitat surrounding them. Dartmoor prison is a famous landmark as well as Hay Tor a granite outcrop that offers spectacular views over the National Park and the south Devon Coast.
