Covering 368 square miles, this vast national park is the largest stretch of open moorland in southern England. Expect brooding landscapes of hay-coloured heaths, moss-smothered boulders, trickling streams, and granite hills that inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s gothic detective tale, The Hound of the Baskervilles.
And while you’re unlikely to encounter any Baker Street sleuths searching for demonic dogs, Dartmoor walking holidays provide plenty to write home about.
