Dartmoor 365 Walking Guidebook

author: John Hayward
The Dartmoor National Park originally comprised 365 square miles and this book has a novel concept. Every one of these squares has been visited in order to record in word and drawings at least one object of interest within it.

Wherever you are within the National Park boundary you will be able to plan excursions of an hour, a half day, or a full day to find the items described in the book for each square visited, and indeed many more items as well. The OS map reference for each page's square mile is provided, but normally no space has been wasted in describing how to get there. All you need is the OS 1:25,000 scale Explorer map of the Moor.

There is no other book that covers the moor in such a methodical way. Besides the expected pages about hills and rivers, fords and bridges, tors and crosses, topics such as plant lore, village life, legends, letterboxes, architecture and archaeology, all find a prominent place.

Then there are the entertaining verses to liven up the longer walks and even a spare map on which to record your explorations. There is an index including lists of specific feature types and which pages to find them on.
