- Synopsis:
Dartmoor is a landscape of contrasts - high gorse and heather moors, deep wooded ravines with tumbling rivers and streams, immense granite tors, and rare and wonderful wildlife. It is England's largest area of open moorland, and a landscape enjoyed by millions of tourists each year. In this exquisite film Charles Wood - guided by Dartmoor National Park officers and local experts - discovers the secret places, the geology, the history, and the people that make up this, the loveliest of moors. Age-old moorland events are featured in detail: the crowning of the May Queen in Lustleigh; pony drifts and sales; lambing and shearing; and of course, Widecombe Fair. The true majesty of Dartmoor is superbly photographed through the seasons: from a summer sunrise, to the colours of autumn, to the heavy snows of winter, to the intimacy of spring's bluebell woodlands. In a film full of surprises; to travel over Dartmoor with Charles Wood is to discover the heart of a beautiful and ever evolving landscape. - Directors:
