Discovering Dartmoor - A FREE to Watch Five Part Video Series

A few years ago I asked myself the questions, “What do I know about Dartmoor? What makes this place so unique?”.

When I couldn’t answer those questions, I made a commitment to myself to not only see more of Dartmoor, but to learn more about it.

And from that commitment, Discovering Dartmoor was born, a 5 part video series where I explore and photograph 24 of Dartmoor's finest locations and speak to some of Dartmoor's most passionate ambassadors so I could find out for myself what makes Dartmoor so special.

You can learn more about the story of Discovering Dartmoor and see a gallery of the photographs in this blog post.

Discovering Dartmoor for me is a passion project and it is completely self-funded. It isn’t a commercial venture or a profit-making exercise. Everything you see in the video series was created and produced by me. Making Discovering Dartmoor turned about to be a gargantuan task. I somewhat underestimated how much time and effort it would take. However, I am very proud of it and I’m glad I’m able to share it with you for free on YouTube, forever.

As I’ve mentioned in each episode the best way you can support the series is by liking the episode, leaving a comment and telling everyone you know about it. But if you really enjoyed the series you can make a one-time donation by clicking on the button below.

Even a small amount makes a big difference to me. Thank you.

Acknowledgments

The following text is extracted from the Discovering Dartmoor book, but it’s very much worth repeating here.

My journey across Dartmoor has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. It’s been full of ups and downs (some literal, some emotional) but one of the highlights has been the people I’ve met along the way. The people that work, live, and relax on Dartmoor.

A special thanks goes to Tom Usher & Kelly Rich from the Dartmoor Preservation Association, Josephine Collingwood, Max Piper, Mark Owen, and Emma Cunis. I can’t thank you enough for giving up your time and talking to me. Without our conversations Discovering Dartmoor wouldn’t be what it is.

Thank you also to Rob Hayward for letting me read from his dad’s book Dartmoor 365 and to Julian Cartwright for giving me permission to use his photograph of a rushlight.

Finally, thanks to my dear friends Ross and Chris. Thank you for your creative support in helping me stay focused on this lengthy project. Most of all, thanks for your friendship during those difficult personal times that accompanied me on my Discovering Dartmoor journey.

All good journeys need good friends.
