Photography on Dartmoor

Photography

Dartmoors rugged, wild and expansive terrain is a photographer’s dream, offering a wealth of stunning landscapes and unique opportunities to capture the beauty of nature. With its imposing granite tors, ancient woodlands, wild rivers and archaeological wonders – all sitting amongst a rich tapestry of flora and fauna – Dartmoor provides endless possibilities to immerse yourself in natural beauty with unlimited and unique photographic opportunities. 

Basing yourself at Duchy House provides easy access to some of the best photography spots on Dartmoor; 

• The abandoned and flooded Foggintor Quarry where nature is reclaiming its industrial past. 
• Wistman’s Wood with its ancient, twisting, moss covered oaks, shrouded in the morning mist.
• The eerie and lonely setting of the uninhabited Nun’s Cross Farm, set amidst the ever changing colours of the open moor.

From misty mornings shrouding the tors in an ethereal light to golden sunsets casting long shadows across the moors, Dartmoor’s ever-changing colours, weather and lighting conditions provide a dynamic canvas for photographers to work with. The rich biodiversity of the moor offers a plethora of wildlife photography opportunities, from the ponies and sheep that roam across the landscape to the intricate world of mosses and lichens. Whether you prefer sweeping panoramic shots or intimate close-ups, Dartmoor is sure to inspire at any time of year.
