Wistman’s Wood is like a fairytale scene. Nestling in a moorland cleft, the atmospheric dwarf oak woodland is filled with jumbled boulders and everything is covered in thick and otherworldly moss. Ghostly green drapes hang from the trees and serpentine roots tangle together dramatically. Any moment you could imagine a fairy flying past. Most likely a leftover from the ancient forest that covered Dartmoor around 7000 BC, the eerie and enchanting woodland is a genuine journey back in time.
