Format:Paperback
The book finds something of interest in each square mile of the National Park. Sometimes quirk - often just a poem, song or line drawing.
This book is lots of fun and always interesting (although in my haste to find out about the things I can actually experience with my senses I did find myself sometimes "saving" the poems for some later point in life).
I live on the edge of the moor, so this book is more about deepening my knowledge of a place I walk in all the time. As a result, I am not that interested in books which provide routes, details of transport, start/end points, places to stay and eat,etc.
This is not a guide book with routes and directions. It is a companion pointing out things you might otherwise miss.
If you are not local - still get this book! If your coming to Dartmoor for some great walking, it will help you get some feel for the place and plan your walking.
Not the sort of book you read page to page.

Format:Paperback
This unique book was recommended to me by a colleague who always seemed to know so many fascinating things wherever we went on Dartmoor. Now I know where he found his anecdotes. This unusual book is one everyone who walks regularly on Dartmoor should have to refer to before and after a visit to the moors. Also suitable for non-walkers as many of the places in the book are in the villages around the edge of the moor which are accessible by car. A few entries may gradually go out of date (and nowadays we all use kilometre square maps!), but the book's appeal will last decades as let's hope Dartmoor continues to change only slowly, and it's quite straightforward to navigate through the book whether you have a one-inch map or a metric one.

Not a standard guidebook but a great add on to these, as it provides a lot of interesting detail about each square mile of Dartmoor. Most of the info will not date. May be of more use to a resident than a casual day tripper. I includes natural history, poetry and historical items
