Dartmoor is famous for it's "Tor's" which are large hills, topped with outcrops of bedrock, which in granite country such as Dartmoor are usually rounded boulder-like formations. There are over 160 tors on Dartmoor, so you can see how many you can discover. The best know Tor is Haytor, which has a visitors centre built nearby.

Farming has taken place on Dartmoor for more than 4,000 year. The Farmhouses and farms today reflect Dartmoor's distinctive landscape being built to local designs and out of local stones, and are important to Dartmoor's future, as these farms help to continue to shape and maintain the landscape we see today.
