Welcome to Dartmoor Online

For those of you who have just found this recently launched website, it was created to meet the rising demand for properly researched articles and unusual features, with emphasis on sound information, written by quality and specialist contributors.

A lot of the appeal has been due to the fact that this emphasis on quality has been recognised and appreciated. The information within is trustworthy. There are no distractions of advertisements placed alongside articles, making Dartmoor Online very different from lifestyle retail publications.

The website carries reliable critical reviews of books to let you know what is worth buying, and a news and information section will keep you up to date with what is happening on the moor, with cutting edge assessment of some current issues. Other regular pages look at previously unrecorded or little known discoveries on or about the moor, however small, and there is an equipment review page for your outdoor Dartmoor gear. Many of these items will only be found in Dartmoor Online.

All aspects of Dartmoor’s rich cultural and natural landscape, past and present, are included, and will be accompanied by a wide variety of photographs and images.

There is no need to hunt for Dartmoor Online in the shops, and no storage space and accessories are required. For overseas readers, all expensive postage and packaging charges are avoided! At ONLY £10 a year for four quarterly issues, it has been designed to appeal to all pockets.

All subscribers have FREE ACCESS to back numbers – no need to buy an issue you have missed.
