“ 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.
For what appears to be a sleepy Dartmoor town, Moretonhampstead always has plenty going on; whether it’s the Moreton Music Day, carnival week, or the town’s flag festival, you can usually find something to keep you busy during a visit!
In the summer, the kids will love a trip to Moretonhampstead Swimming Pool, a 25m outdoor pool that’s heated with solar power. You’ll be able to find many great walks in and around Moretonhampstead if you wish to explore the surrounding countryside.
