This category covers some of the many facets that make up the jewel of Dartmoor, some are now but a memory in the minds of the old moorfolk, others are very much alive and kicking in the 21st century. Many are the pure essence of the moor and are what give it the distinct character it displays in today's landscape. Some are natural phenomena others are man-made features or events - either way they all go to make up the diversity of Dartmoor and its living landscape. So, explore the fauna, flora, and man's endeavours that all go to make up the living entity that is Dartmoor. Here you will also find some of the farming practices on Dartmoor along with the old ways in which meat, cereals and produce was  grown and made.

There are also several pages on the natural resources to be found on and around the moor and exactly how the folk utilised them in their everyday lives.

Regardless of the topic and its age there will be examples of each and everyone of them to be found within the National Park. If they are not physically present today there will certainly be vestiges and traces of their one-time existence.

The only way to experience many of these Dartmoor aspects is to look closely at the landscape as you travel through its lanes and tracks and across its moors and commons.
