The moor the merrier! Holmes is luring buyers to the South West¿s rugged uplands | Mail Online
They have had star billing in recent months as dashing Sherlock Holmes has stormed across them in that Belstaff jacket pursued by the Hound. And as a result, buyers have renewed their interest in the moors of South West England.
Dartmoor in Devon is the largest of the three moors at 365 square miles, followed by Exmoor edging east into Somerset, and Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. All boast wild and wide open spaces plus craggy rock tors and gushing rivers — dramatic landscapes created by the Ice Age.
Not only is Dartmoor home to national favourite Ann Widdecombe, but it has also served as the backdrop for most of the scenes in Steven Spielberg’s War Horse.
