Dartmoor was designated one of the National Parks of England and Wales in 1951. It is a beautiful moorland landscape with wooded valleys and wind swept Tors.  It’s 368 square miles (953 sq. km.) in area, with about 33,000 people living there, and where about 10 million visits are made each year.  All the land is privately owned and the public is able to roam freely on unenclosed, open moorland on both foot and horseback. There are also about 600 miles (966 km) of public rights of way.  Dartmoor is a rich habitat for wildlife and has a wealth of archaeological remains.
