THE WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL ROADS. DARTMOOR, UK.

Dartmoor's ancient trails have witnessed movement across millennia. The paths trodden by Mesolithic hunter-gatherers (8000 BCE) and Bronze Age settlers created the first tracks across this challenging terrain.

Medieval tin miners established routes that connected settlements, many of which form today's popular running trails. The granite ways and pack-horse tracks built for industry now offer runners varied surfaces and historical waypoints.

Since the Victorian era, Dartmoor has attracted endurance enthusiasts. The famous Ten Tors Challenge, established in 1960, reflects the moor's long tradition of testing human stamina against its demanding landscape.

The designation as a National Park in 1951 secured public access to this runner's paradise.

Today, ultramarathons like the Dartmoor Discovery take advantage of the moor's 368 square miles of rugged terrain, dramatic elevation changes, and historical paths—offering modern runners the chance to trace footsteps that span thousands of years of human history.
