Dartmoor National Park is a heavily protected area of moorland in Southern England. It covers 954 square kilometres
and is best known for its rugged, exposed landscape which is home to Dartmoor ponies, sheep and cattle which roam
freely over the plains.
Dartmoor is capped by numerous granite rock formations, known as Tors. At each peak, Tors have been exposed over
time by the often harsh weather conditions that batter the area. The landscape is also peppered with farms, hamlets
and small towns. A notorious men's prison is located in one of the largest settlements on the moors at Princetown.
Dartmoor Prison's huge granite walls dominate this part of the moors which only adds a further macabre twist to the
intoxicating atmosphere of Dartmoor.
