A new chapter for Dartmoor Magazine

I’m absolutely thrilled to step into the role of editor for Dartmoor Magazine, following in the footsteps of Sue Viccars. Sue’s passion and dedication have made the magazine what it is today, and I’m determined to carry on her legacy while adding a few fresh touches along the way. Our fantastic team of freelance writers remains, with some exciting new voices joining too.

My first issue, out at the end of November, is shaping up beautifully. Expect stories on the landscape, wildlife, conservation, rural crafts, and so much more—celebrating all the ways to enjoy Dartmoor’s magnificent outdoors. Happy reading!
