The Two Bridges Hotel enjoys the most wonderful setting in the heart of Dartmoor, perched on the banks of the beautiful West Dart River. Whatever time of year, the surrounding moorland guarantees an atmospheric arrival at this historic hotel. Last Sunday evening I was joined by Moss and her owner Julia for dinner. It was misty and mysterious when we arrived, and the Hotel’s log fires and gleaming...

I was delighted to be asked back to Cranks Kitchen at Dartington to review their new winter menu, unfortunately I couldn't make it but my trusted foodie friend, Julia, was up for the challenge! For those of us non-vegetarians, the prospect of dining at such a long-established and famous veggie restaurant can seem a little daunting… But fear not you carnivores! Cranks is everything that is good...

Hi, Moss the Dartmoor Dog Blogger here! I promised Lisa I would write a blog about one of my favourite walks. Of course, there are loads and loads of fab places to walk on Dartmoor, but as I am still quite young (almost nine months now!) I am not allowed to do really long treks yet.
