Dartmoor is a haunted land. A visit there seems to take you to a different world with many new mysteries. It is a land of Tors and legends and fairies and pixies and immense beauty. Above all it is ancient with settlements dating back at least 7,000 years. Circles of standing stones remind us of a time when bears, wolves and giant lions roamed the landscape and humans battled both them and the elements to survive. In some places it is still possible to feel their presence and their mystery. Interestingly, 1500 years ago Dartmoor had a Mediterranean climate......what does that say about current global warming theories?
