Discover Dartmoor from your West Devon Holiday Cottage
Home to Conan Doyle's Hound of the Baskervilles, the evocative Dartmoor National Park has long been a cherished part of the Devonshire landscape. This 954 square kilometre UNESCO world heritage site is considered one of the prettiest national parks in the UK thanks to the biodiversity of its wildlife. Book a holiday cottage near Dartmoor, and you can look forward to invigorating walks on one of the park's plethora of hiking trails as well as plenty of opportunities for climbing. Alternatively, head to Ruby Country to exploit the region's rolling hills on two wheels or the River Dart to see the sights via canoe. Of course, no trip to Dartmoor would be complete without catching a glimpse of a herd of the park's elusive ponies, which can often be seen traversing some of Dartmoor's more rugged terrain.
