The ancient stones of Dartmoor
Dartmoor is dotted with stone circles and stone rows.
Dartmoor National Park is dotted all over with ancient stone rows and stone circles. Grab an ordnance survey map and a pair of strong boats and wonder across the wild moorland to find them. Often close to roads, seemly unnoticed and forgotten, you can find large areas of stone patterns. A stay at Sparrowhawk Backpackers, will give plenty of time to explore the Dartmoor National Park, and a pleasant room with self catering to come home to.
