This amazing woodland is important for the mosses and lichens that festoon the trees and the impressive granite boulders found on the site. However, this National Nature Reserve of 170ha mainly consists of a model example of the upland heathland and has a wealth of moorland birds. Wistmans Wood is in the Dart river valley and has views of wild Devon that you won't find anywhere else in the country.

Reached after a 30/45 minute walk over rough ground from the small car park at Two Bridges, this small and stunted woodland of 500 year old oak trees is quite something. The trees, mostly stunted by the exposure to Dartmoor weather, are set on the side of a small valley that with a stream running through. The floor of the wood comprises solely of a jumble of lichen and moss covered boulders. Watch your step if venturing within as the rocks are slippery.Best visited early morning, and/or midweek, when you have the place to yourself. Show less

This site takes its name from a small oak wood. This amazing woodland is important for the mosses and lichens that festoon the trees and the impressive granite boulders found on the site.

Ancient, minature Oak forest. A glimpse back in time at what dartmoor used to look like before mining and grazing changed it. Magical by day, spooky by night, enchanting at dusk.

Its one of the most stunning places you could see. Ancient woodland, real druid/fairy/Lord of the Rings type place.
