Dartmoor National Park Authority is dedicated to conserving and enhancing one of the UK’s most treasured landscapes. Covering over 368 square miles of unspoiled moorland, Dartmoor is home to diverse wildlife, rich cultural heritage, and breathtaking natural beauty.

As an independent authority, we work in close collaboration with local communities, government agencies, conservation groups, and stakeholders to balance environmental preservation with responsible development. Our mission is to ensure that Dartmoor remains a vibrant, living landscape where people, nature, and heritage coexist harmoniously.

Through sustainable planning, education, and conservation initiatives, we protect and enhance the park’s unique ecosystems while supporting the economic and social well-being of local communities. Whether promoting biodiversity, safeguarding historic sites, or encouraging public engagement with nature, we strive to make Dartmoor a place where future generations can continue to explore, enjoy, and appreciate its exceptional beauty.
