Land Management
Our Land Holdings
The DPA owns 4 pieces of land on Dartmoor. All were bought to preserve their special qualities.
There are two areas of open moor (Sharpitor and Swincombe), one enclosed area of moorland and woodland (High House Waste) and one enclosed area of hay meadows (Pudsham).
