Upland moor in Devon

Upland moor wildlife areas in Devon offer some of the most striking and ecologically rich landscapes in southwest England. Characterised by sweeping heather-clad hills, rugged tors, and expansive peat bogs, these highland habitats—such as those found in Dartmoor and parts of Exmoor—support a unique array of flora and fauna specially adapted to the harsh, windswept conditions. These moorlands are not only vital refuges for threatened species like the curlew, skylark, and marsh fritillary butterfly, but also serve as important carbon sinks and water sources. As such, they play a crucial role in both local biodiversity and broader environmental sustainability efforts.
