Charlie and Poppy enjoyed their walk around Roadford Lake. Beautiful walk and only 15 minutes from the campsite. It’s got to be a lovely weekend and the sunshine is returning 😎☀️ we’ve got availability why not give us a call?

There are moments on Dartmoor that remind me why I keep returning to the moor, whatever the weather.

It was so special to spend time with the Shilstone Rocks herd as dark clouds rolled overhead and rain swept across the landscape. Then, for just a few seconds, the cloud opened and a shaft of light broke through.

Almost as if on cue, one of the Shilstone ponies climbed onto the granite above the herd and stood looking out across the moor while the light illuminated it against the stormy sky below.

Moments like this cannot be planned. They are a gift of patience, timing and Dartmoor's wonderfully unpredictable weather. One minute I was watching the light dance across the granite, the next I was reaching for the waterproofs as another downpour arrived and thoroughly soaked me again!

For me, this image captures something of the spirit of Dartmoor's native ponies free-ranging, resilient and perfectly at home in a landscape of constant change. Through their conservation grazing they continue to shape and maintain these habitats, benefiting biodiversity and wildlife while remaining one of the most iconic sights on the moor.

Sometimes Dartmoor simply puts on a show.
