DARMOOR NATIONAL PARK

Posted by: adachs3, in General

Newton Abbot is near Darmoor National Park. We are going to visit it and walk a bit around the park. It’s advisable to wear comfortable clothes and trainers when visiting the park.

You can search the web and find some images from this special landscape. Can you answer the following questions?

  • What is a Tor ?
  • Which famous novel is set in Dartmoor?
  • What is this National Park named after?
  • In Widecombe you can find ‘the cathedral of the moors’ What is its official name?
