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 is 953 sq. km. in area, with about 33,000 people living in it. 10m people visit each year. All the land is owned but the public is able to roam freely on unenclosed, open moorland on both foot and horseback. There are also about 966 km of public rights of way. Dartmoor is a rich habitat for wildlife and has a wealth of archaeological remains.
