“ I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming War Horse on Dartmoor.” Steven Spielberg.
This National Nature Reserve of 170ha mainly consists of a model example of the upland heathland and has a wealth of moorland birds. Wistman’s Wood is in the Dart river valley. Natural England is asking visitors to stick to the paths and to walk around Wistmans Woods and not to go through it in order to protect the extremely rare and fragile habitat.
