Located in southwest England, Dartmoor offers walking holidays based at a lovely hotel in the Dartmoor National Park near the village of Haytor. Terrain here rises to over 2000 feet above sea level and one has a stunning sense of solitude with often nothing more than Dartmoor ponies in sight. The countryside is studded with archaeological remains - walkers encounter burial mounds, stone circles and traces of early Bronze Age villages. Eastern Dartmoor by contrast has wooded valleys with cozy villages.

Hotel: MOORLANDS This fine Country House is situated high on the moor below Haytor Rocks, one of Dartmoor's best-known landmarks.  It was this magnificent setting that inspired Agatha Christie to write her first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, here in 1917.  The 32 en-suite bedrooms look out over rolling Devon countryside and the eight acres of grounds.  The lavish interiors of the public rooms are a reminder of its previous ownership by a colourful local millionaire and today provide a grand base for our walking holidays. All meals are included.
