Dartmoor Arts and Literature

Where can you enjoy a little Bach in a moorland setting? What inspired contemporary artist Seth Lakeman and Sabine Baring Gould to write the music they did? Where can you find some of the best arts and crafts movements in the South West? Dartmoor.

This is the home of The Hound of the Baskervilles, Michael Jecks' murder mysteries and Agatha Christie novels. Dartmoor; from the down-right odd to the mainstream, it has produced and inspired all manner of writers, artists, photographers, musicians and playwrights. Maybe it's the fresh Dartmoor water, maybe it's the awesome Dartmoor landscape, whatever it is, Dartmoor seems to evoke creativity and inspiration. You should try it.
