Wistman's Wood

In the northern part of the magnificent moorland of Dartmoor, the incredible Forest of the Druids appears as if by magic, full of twisted oak trees that grow on huge granite boulders covered with wild moss. The undergrowth consists mainly of ferns, and the majestic trees are covered with lichens and other plants. The atmosphere is truly magical, and you can really feel the ancient Celtic history all around you. It is said that this grove was, in the ancient path, popular with the Druids, who gathered medicinal herbs here and practised their mysterious, magical rituals. It can be reached by following the path across the moors to the little village of Twobridges, and following the path by the river.
