Dartmoor is said to be the loneliest wilderness in Engl&. This has been said more often of Dartmoor than any other part of our country. Traditionally in the world of fiction as well as that of fact Dartmoor has been renowned as a vast & empty moorland area the property of nature rather than of man. It has always been the publics idea of a lonely place. Not many generations ago it was regarded with a certain amount of awe & nowadays it is one of our most important centres of recreation an island in upland England of abundant interest to the naturalist. In 1951 it became a National Park one of the first of several places that have been so designated in Great Britain helping to conserve & promote both its beauty & cultural heritage. Spanning miles of open moorland whilst also hiding small secluded river valleys rare plants & endangered birds Dartmoor is a place of variety & has evolved in the publics mind from a forbidding place to that of romance & mystery. In the latest addition to the long-running New Naturalist series Ian Mercer sets out to explore every aspect of this important area of southern Devon. Focusing not only on its extensive history & physical landscape but also its cultural place within Great Britain this is both a comprehensive & engaging look at the wild & rugged landscape that has inspired so many poets painters & musicians over countless centuries. ...

Much of central Dartmoor is an uninhabited wilderness almost free of villages farms trees & roads making it outstanding environmental value. From this mass rise Dartmoor's rivers including the Lyd Tavy East & West Dart Bovey Teign Taw & Okement nearly all of which flow southwards to the English Channel. The large numbers of tors that dominate Dartmoor are the remnants of hard masses of granite drastically reduced in size & moulded into their present shapes by millions of years of weatherings. Bowerman's Nose Hound Tor & Haytor Rocks are famous examples included on these walks. ...

This book provides a new perspective on a striking & famous feature of the English landscape Dartmoor. In the middle ages intensive practical use was made from its resources. Its extensive moorlands provided summer pasture for thousands of cattle from the Devon lowlands which flowed in a seasonal tide up in the spring & down in the autumn. How was the grazing organised when so many of the people who wished to use it were peasant farmers living many miles from the moor? In the later middle ages the Crown manorial lords & Dartmoor farmers provided a service of keeping the cattle gaining substantial revenues from the cattle owners who were pleased to pay for the care & feed of their animals. By contrast in the early middle ages Harold Foxs evidence shows that the lowlanders migrated with their cattle & lived on the moors in the summer. This book describes for the first time the social organisation & farming practices associated with this annual transfer of livestock. It presents evidence for a previously unsuspected Anglo-Saxon pattern of transhumance. Harold Fox died before completing the final stages of the book. Devonian by origin he researched many aspects of the countys history. Written with elegance & authority the book distills a lifetimes work in original medieval records & draws together evidence from a remarkable variety of sources. Foxs colleagues at Leicesters Centre for English Local History: Matthew Tompkins & Christopher Dyer have seen the book through to publication. ...
