Dartmoor & South West Devon. Dartmoor is, of course, world famous as a walking destination - and it deserves to be.
The area became a national park in 1951 and consists of 368 square miles (954 sq km). You could almost say it was designed for hiking - vast moorlands dotted with high granite tors offer almost boundless opportunities to walk more or less where you will (particularly since the government passed its recent "right to roam" act). Trails from the Track - Devon and Cornwall branch line walks Looe, Falmouth, Tamar Valley, Truro, Falmouth. Devon Tourist Information.
