The tour was terrific. We saw many locations in Dartmoor National Park. We viewed many interesting places. Nigel provided information all along the tour. A day packed with great sights and vivid descriptions.
Nigel showed us a graveyard with a literary connection. A great day. The lunch stop was special. Well worth the day.

What a lovely day touring Dartmoor National Park with Nigel! My husband and I were picked up at our hotel in Exeter promptly at 8:30 for a drive to Ashburton and the start of our tour of Devon. Nigel covered all the high points: clapper bridges, Bronze Age roundhouses, Cornish ponies and sheep, the history of Dartmoor Prison and church with its significance to the US, Hound Tor and Haytor, and a lovely lunch at the very isolated Warren Inn. We were amazed at his skill navigating the extremely narrow hedgerow-lined roads and so appreciated the excellent photos he took of us. By the time we returned at 4:30, we had experienced a beautiful day in Dartmoor. We highly recommend Nigel as your guide.

The tour was well suited to the diverse needs and abilities of our group, and we were all thoroughly impressed and entertained. I would highly recommend Nigel to anyone wishing to experience the beauty and mystery of this part of the UK!
