DISCOVERING DARTMOOR – Episode 4 – Pew Tor to Teign Valley & Mark Owen
Though I'm getting close to the end of my Discovering Dartmoor journey, the things I find along the way still surprise me, including, pigs, a hydro-electric power station, an old tramway, xenoliths, and clapper bridges. I also learn from Mark Owen how farming and conservation can go hand in hand.

🔎 ABOUT DISCOVERING DARTMOOR 🔎
I'm Julian Baird, photographer and filmmaker from Devon and welcome to Discovering Dartmoor.
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.
