Woodland Springs is your gateway to Dartmoor, it’s dramatic, often remote, scenery, crystal clear waterfalls at Lydford Gorge and Becky Falls and rivers that trip between boulders on their way to the coast. The River Teign rises around Fernworthy Reservoir, a favourite walking and picnic spot which includes a route for disabled visitors. There’s miles of open pasture, sheep, ponies and a multitude of wildlife. Wooded valleys shelter picturesque towns; Chagford, Widdicombe-in-the-Moor, Moretonhampstead, Bovey Tracy, Buckfastleigh and many more. Along the way you’ll find historic inns serving local fare. Across Dartmoor are hundreds of ancient monuments, some thousands of years old. Within walking distance from the park is Spinster’s Rock, a neolithic burial chamber, which like many other relics and sightings, have become part of the Dartmoor legend and folklore. There are many events and festivals on and around Dartmoor for you to enjoy. |
