Next visit, Dartmoor?
Escape the hustle and bustle of modern life on Dartmoor; a vast, wild moorland where ponies roam free, granite tors rise out of the landscape, and history hides in plain sight. It’s free to visit, always open, and about a 30-minute drive from Tamar View Holiday Park, making it one of the easiest and most rewarding day trips during your stay in Cornwall.
What to See on Dartmoor National Park…
Love the charm of the Cotswolds but looking for somewhere quieter? Dartmoor National Park is home to peaceful villages, dramatic tors, ancient woodland and some of the UK’s most breathtaking scenery. Best of all, it’s completely free to explore, making it the perfect destination for unforgettable days out without the crowds.

Dartmoor Ponies
One of the moor’s most famous sights; semi-wild Dartmoor ponies grazing freely across open moorland, often right beside the road. Beautiful to watch, but remember to admire from a distance and never feed them.

Sherberton Stepping Stones
A quiet, little-known river crossing near Hexworthy, tucked away from the crowds. A lovely spot for a peaceful walk, with a wild swimming spot nearby for the more adventurous.

Haytor Rocks
One of Dartmoor’s most iconic and accessible granite tors, with an easy climb rewarded by panoramic views stretching all the way to the coast — a firm family favourite.
Tamar View Holiday Park
Overlooking the beautiful Tamar Valley National Landscape, offering a peaceful countryside escape in luxury lodges and cosy cottages. Perfectly placed for exploring both Cornwall and Devon, it’s an ideal base for discovering Dartmoor’s dramatic landscapes, charming villages and unforgettable days out.
