| Little Mis Tor |
I'm not the only person who has a deep passion for Dartmoor National Park and so below is a list of all those great, interesting websites that I read and/or use. They're a great alternative if you're bored reading my blog posts (which I completely understand) 😀
The below list contains a range of brilliant websites that I enjoy visiting; some are blogs, others photography websites and even a few websites endeavouring to document Dartmoor's wealth of archaeology. Please note that I am not responsible for the contents of the websites and this list is by no means an endorsement.

Other Maps
You might've already seen that I have three pretty detailed maps, one of the Tors and Rocks of Dartmoor, one of the Tors and Rocks of Bodmin Moor, and one of the Artefacts on Bodmin Moor... but I do have more, two to be exact that are shown below:
Inscribed Route Markers and OS Items
The aim of this map is to document all of the OS items that I have visited in the UK. For those Dartmoor ones, and in immediate peripheral towns, please visit the Dartefacts classification.
The Tors & Rocks of South-West Cornwall
The aim of my second map is to (try to) document as many outcrops, tors and rocks as possible in this area of the UK. Much of this beautiful granite plateau called Penwith is littered with craggy outcrops on the cliffs and I have decided to include some of these if they start at the top of the escarpment. Because of my location, this part of Cornwall is rarely visited by me, so I think others will benefit from this map more than I - but that's fine with me!
The Tors, Rocks & Edges of the Peak District
Don't ask!
