Dartmoor:

Dartmoor is an ancient and rugged landscape which shows signs of settlement since the iron age, dotted about its magnificent tor capped hills are many hut circles dating back thousands of years.

The intrepid walker will find monumental stone circles erected in the mists of time, the purpose of which can only be guessed at now. The moor is divided into “commons” with grazing rights allocated to local farms. There are no fenced boundaries, just the occasional dry stonewall or Devon Bank.
