Dartmoor Moorland

The English writer Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous novel, 'The Hound of the Baskervilles,' is set in the wilderness of the Dartmoor and was surely inspired by its mysterious and enchanting atmosphere. A thick smoky haze hangs over the area quite often, seeming to rise from the ground and making it seem very magical and surreal. In the sea of wild briar that begins to dry up during August, you can take solitary walks accompanied by nothing but an open sky and an invisible wind blowing from all directions. The most evocative images that seem like hallucinations or kaleidoscopic shapes seem to occur especially on cloudy days which is not at all rare in Dartmoor.
