Snapshots of Dartmoor National Park

Dartmoor National Park is peat bogs, pine forests and ponies (lots of ponies); mile upon mile of open moorland, crowned with tors; and stars – more than I could count, than I’ve ever seen before – twinkling against inky skies. Over Easter, Laurence and I spent five days hiking across Dartmoor National Park, sampling cream teas, exploring market towns and quaint villages and getting very (very) sunburnt along the way. I’ll retrace our footsteps through Tavistock, Princetown, Postbridge and Widecombe-in-the-Moor in subsequent posts, but for now, here’s a selection of my favourite snapshots . . .

Pew Tor

Place names like Eggworthy make me smile 🙂

The moorland wasn’t the only thing that was scorched on this day . . .

One of Dartmoor’s adorable furry residents

When in Devon . . . (I’m normally a jam-then-cream sort of gal)

Forget the red carpet, I’d take a green carpet any day

Bewitchingly beautiful Wistman’s Wood

Before the bog

Picture-perfect Postbridge ❤

Who doesn’t love a pub with a sense of humour?
