Have you ever gone for a walk on Dartmoor and wandered around aimlessly? Now, there is new book about Dartmoor with over 700 professional photographs and informative facts about each of Dartmoor's tors. It shows the reader how nearly every tor on Dartmoor is surrounded by an astonishing abundance of fascinating features and history.
Dartmoor Tors Compendium differs from all before it in that it brings together the features and history around each tor and presents them as a compendium of information, illustrated with evocative images that only a photographer can capture.
- First ever Dartmoor compendium combining professional photography and well-researched facts.
- Covers Dartmoor's geology, archaeology, history, mining and agricultural legacies.
- Includes a map, drawings, 718 photographs and glossary.
- Foreword by Dartmoor National Park Authority's Chief Executive Kevin Bishop.
- Gives GPS locations for special features hidden in the landscape.
"To create an expansive guide to Dartmoor's tors is an ambitious task, but one that UK photographer Josephine Collingwood has made a very good job of. The book's main triumph is how thorough Collingwood has been with her research and overall production of the book. Her 700 or so photographs – which are a mixture of colour and B&W – celebrate Dartmoor's iconic granite outcrops and are accompanied by detailed maps, drawings and an in-depth glossary. GPS locations of particularly unique, often hidden, geological features will be of interest to those already familiar with the more well-known tors in the national park."
