Photos from Dartmoor, Devon


The magical and rugged landscape of Dartmoor. This part of Dartmoor is close to Postbridge and the environment and landscape was a great inspiration for my short story “The Castle in the Mist” from “Corsets and Cravings”, where Nora walks from Twobridges to Postbridge and gets lost on her way...

Typical Dartmoor picture, with rugged nature and large blocks of rocks called “Tors”.
I imagine that Piper lives just around those hills, however the exact location is unknown…

Wild Dartmoor ponies.


This is one of the many wild flowers which you may find on the dryer parts of the moor.


Summer picture of the river Dart crosses the landscape, which runs through Postbridge. In the area there are several old tinner huts and other archaeological sites.

Close-up on some lichen. All rocks are covered with the most fascinating types of moss and lichens.


Tranquil and beautiful water picture.

Sheep wanders wild here as well.


I am not the only author who has borrowed the mystery of Dartmoor and incorporated it into their novels. In fact, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s novel “Baskerville’s Hound” was also inspired by Dartmoor.
