Visiting Dartmoor

We have been to Dartmoor for a couple of days, visiting my sister. dartmmor is another of England's national parks. There are vast areas of open moorland with rocky outcrops know as tors and then there are steep valleys with fast flowing rivers. Dotted over the moor are little villages. Dartmoor is fll of interesting historical stes with many ancient crosses and evidence of early settlements.
Saddletor. dartmoor is covered in these rocky outcrops , which all have names. people play a game in England called letterboxing. Hidden in the countryside are waterproof boxes with rubberstamps and ink pads in, and people go around looking for them and collecting the stamps Linda has found one here. Whilst we were on Saddletor we found at least 4 different ones.
