About the Region
Dartmoor and Exmoor form England's south-western uplands — remote, windswept and unlike anywhere else in the country. Dartmoor's granite tors punctuate a vast plateau of blanket bog and prehistoric remains, while Exmoor combines moorland with dramatic sea cliffs and wooded combes.
High Willhays (621m) is England's highest point south of the Peak District. The Dartmoor 300s list catalogues every tor and summit over 300m on the moor. Both parks are renowned for dark skies, wild camping and the eerie beauty of mist-draped moorland.
"Dartmoor is one of the few places in England where you can still feel genuinely alone."
— William Crossing

When to Visit
Conditions improve and crowds thin. Snow may linger on the highest tops — check before heading above 700m.
Long days and warm weather, but popular fells can be busy. Early starts reward you with empty summits.
Many walkers' favourite season. Rich colours, stable weather windows and noticeably fewer people on the paths.
A serious undertaking above the snowline. Crampons and ice-axe skills required. Views on a clear day are unmatched.
