Is Dartmoor a vast, barren wilderness of bottomless bogs plagued by unpredictable and sometimes extreme weather?

Nope.

I can run across it comfortably in 5 hours. Every inch has had some human attention at some point. Every stream and hill has a name. Bogs are for running through. The weather is no more unpredictable than anywhere else. It rarely snows. Check the Dartmoor Rescue call-out logs to see how often folk come to grief on the moor.

It is however, a small fragile gem sometimes hauntingly beautiful with a subtle charm not easily caught on canvas or camera.
