Dartmoor at 70

2021 marked the 70th anniversary of the designation of Dartmoor as one of UK’s first National Parks, on 30 October 1951.

Dartmoor was one of the first places to be designated as a National Park; the Peak District, Lake District and Snowdonia were also awarded the designation in the same year.
