Dartmoor National Park Essentials
Dartmoor National Park features a rugged landscape defined by granite tors like Haytor and Hound Tor, alongside ancient archaeological sites including the Bronze Age settlement of Grimspound and Scorhill Stone Circle. The area’s history is preserved in the medieval ruins of Okehampton Castle, the active Benedictine Buckfast Abbey, and Castle Drogo, the last castle built in England.
