Bring your children and join Dartmoor's Daughter in a unique opportunity to experience first hand how a Dartmoor farm is managed to balance wildlife, nature, archaeology, and public enjoyment along with some food production. We hope to see lambs, spring flowers, and to hear cuckoos and other birds.
