Dartmoor's Hidden Forests - A Short Documentary in 4K

- Dartmoor National Park in Devon is famous for its wide open moorland landscapes. Large areas of the park are completely uninhabited and moorland grasslands stretch as far as the eye can see. However, there is so much more to this National Park than open, treeless landscapes. The valleys and gorges in the south and east of the park host large areas of ancient woodlands, some of which are internationally important, as Dartmoor hosts 3 out of the 5 high altitude oak woodlands in the UK. This film is a short documentary focusing on five woodlands across Dartmoor and why they are so special.
This film was shot exclusively on a Sony A7iii during the spring, summer and autumn of 2021. I do not own any of the music in this film and the rights belong to the incredible musicians that created them.
This music in this film in order of appearance is as follows:
Someone Loves Us - Dario Marianelli
Creature, Pt.1 DjRUM
Lívstræðrir - John Lunn & Eivør
Healing Katniss - James Newton Howard
Relentless - Tony Anderson
Ólafur Arnalds - Saudade (When We Are Born)
Ether - We Are All Astronauts

Sri Lankan Living in UK. Still starting to explore the beauty of England. This was a Gem of a video. Thanks for the efforts mate. 🎉
A brilliant film. We have a tiny amount of such ancient rainforest in Wales too. But do not give the location away too readily. Stunning.
Well done for not giving away all these special and some hidden locations. A great film
Spent the majority of the last 3-4 years in Dartmoor very quickly taught me to love this country again
This is a fantastc video. Great filming and comments.
Your Forrests in the UK got a sad story and there is almost nothing left.
Devon and Dartmoor especially is in my opinion the moste beautifull place on earth hands down.
I live in N.Devon, go wildcamping at Dartmoor, Exmoor and along the SW coast path
You have never been to the Yorkshire dales then!
You have shot and produced a gem of a Dartmoor video here. All of the segments work and are beautiful; the one with the mists in the valleys which ends in a thunderstorm is sublime. Perople who love Dartmoor will share a link to your channel I'm sure. To go onto mainstream media all that's required is some continuity between the segments.
Thank you so much for the kind words :) The section with the mist is my favourite too :)
@@jonathanpork-sausage617 Depends upon ones mindscape at the time.
Unreal cinematography, love the time lapses and woodland shots!
This is a beautifully filmed mini documentary. Well done Sir
What a beautiful short film! Thoroughly enjoyed every second.
As a foreigner who has never visited UK I think you have made a great documentary of the wonders of nature UK can offer. When I think of UK it comes to mind that it is almost a barren island with no major forests but it seems that it's not all fields and sheep.
That’s very true. I live just south of London in Kent the North Downs are covered in vast swathes of ancient woodland
A marvellous production, some really breath-taking shots. I really enjoyed viewing. I am very fortunate to live just 10 minutes from Dartmoor.
Dartmoor is possibly my most favourite area of England, I've been to a couple of it's small Ancient forest's but where is that vast, for today's standards, Valley Forest you portray at the beginning of this short film ?? We would love to walk around it and enjoy its history, peace and tranquility. We are devastating our land for profits and we need to start replenishing our land for the pleasure of our future generations, fast, but only as a united people can we realistically accomplish that task . A beautifully filmed video.
I grew up on the edge of Dartmoor in a farming area near Okehampton. So we would regularly go on out on the moor for the day and loved going through the forests.
So thank you for this video as it brought back so many memories.
I now live in SW Hampshire but still think of Dartmoor as home.
Take care and best wishes
Beautiful mate. I live in Australia but always hoped Britain still had some beautiful forests. Very well filmed and very enjoyable.
Australia is vast and dry but the forests we still have are sadly being destroyed by logging thanks to greedy government and industry.
I hope you can protect what you have remaining.
Absolutely bloody beautiful production buddy, spent so much of my Career on Dartmoor in the Marines and many year at 42 Commando on the moor, I know live close enough to her to see her Tors from my house 🏡
I’m only 46 but my injuries prevent me from being able to yomp around unfortunately so I’m incredibly grateful for this video you have made and shared - it’s really picked up my day! 🤗🤝
Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that its brightened your day and I'm hoping to have more films on the moors soon 😊
@@MagicCarpetMedia 😃👍 fantastic
Absolutely stunning.
Beautiful. Thoughtfully made. Thank you for not naming the places. This is crucial.
Valuable footage, tastefully filmed and an excellent background music. Just the unknown side of Dartmoor to many of us, who knew about the forest spots in the area but never saw so closely and beautifully filmed.
God I can’t wait to be home from uni to be back on Dartmoor
This is brilliant, really enjoyed watching this!! Great job, thank you!!
Wow! Fantastic. Big hello from the US.
I hope you’re so proud of this!! It’s so good!!
This video came up while I was searching for a documentary video on forests, I am glad to have seen such a wonderful work of art. Reflecting the natural beauty of our world, so thankful for that!
Me and my son went wildcamping at Dartmoor in 2016, we camped at black tor just above the ancient woods, in the morning we had our breakfast on a big rock in the middle of the stream at the bottom of the woods, it was absolutely stunning!
Well shot with some creative treatments of an inspiring countryside in all conditions. Although, 30 degrees for us is barely warm!
You have done the landscape a favour by pointing how special it truly is and how we should do more to preserve special places like Dartmoor.
I say the following from decades of experience of producing content. keep producing great content.
What a lovely area great video, we need to preserve places like this in the UK we have lost most of our trees.Hopefully many more places in Britain can look like this in the future, i didn't know that dartmoor had so many trees it's fantastic.Thank you for showing us around the national park.
So wonderful and a surprise, who would have thought that Dartmoor contained this. I thought I knew about Dartmoor because of my time in the Army marching across the terrain.
Congratulations on an excellent film. I will have to scour the map to find thse for my photographic interest.
Really fantastic and should be viewed far and wide!
This video is a gift. Thank you 😊
This is brilliant! I love Dartmoor's secret little woodlands. As you say, so overlooked! I'd love to see them expand with some rewilding over the coming decades... I have already noticed a few places where they've crept beyond where the OS maps say they should be.
Not sure how I stumbled onto this video but I couldn't stop watching it. I live in California and this somewhat reminded me of the temperate rainforests in the pacific northwest of the US, minus the towering old growth redwood trees. You have a stunning landscape there, it's too bad so much of the forests have been cut down - just like our beloved redwood groves where only 5% remain. Thanks for the video.
Haha youtube can take you down to rabbit holes sometimes 😂 glad you enjoyed the video though. I've actually visited that part of the states and it was stunning. That entire Pacific North West is unreal 😍
@@MagicCarpetMedia Oh, very nice. I'm glad you visited. I really need to get back to the UK, I've only been once and stayed in London and Bath, but would love to do more exploring at some point.
Fantastic video, thoroughly enjoyed it, I absolutely love Dartmoor in all her magic and beauty. She needs to be looked after. 😊😊
Well done! This is a very good film, and you must have put in much time and effort here. Dartmoor is indeed a somewhat barren (and, as you say) very wet place. I have been fortunate enough not have lived there for a good many years. Your time-lapse clips give it drama and impact, and the brightly saturated colours lift what can be a very stark, and sometimes, rather gloomy, expanse. All shot on your Sony a7iii. !!! A great achievement indeed.
Beautiful forest, beautiful video. Thank you. 🎉😊
Beautiful in every way. Thank you for sharing.
Possibly the best video I’ve ever seen on Dartmoor. You’re work is beautiful!
Wow, the video is exquisite and the audio is very evocative and perfectly matches the subject matter - this is indeed a gem of a documentary. I particularly appreciated you using voiceovers sparingly, allowing the video to speak for itself. I look forward to seeing your next production!
I am absolutely blown away by your video. You have captured well the beauty of Dartmoor, more so stirring emotions in me with those extremely beautiful forest scenes with picturesque flowing rivers. Have been feeling a bit exhausted but upon seeing your lovely documentary, a sudden sense of peace and energy seems to have lifted me. You have captured nature beautifully. Well done indeed.
Thank you soo much! Comments like this make all the effort I put into making the film worthwhile. Glad you enjoyed the film 😊
Really cool film. Great music, great shots. Love Dartmoors woods, they deserve more protection! I loved the time-lapse shots at the end. Very mind blowing !
Wow just a superb piece of filming and production. Thank you for sharing and very nice work!
Thank you for this gorgeous piece of work..🙏
This is an awesome piece of work. Many thanks.
A lovely film. Great videography and a minimum of verbiage letting this beautiful landscape speak for itself.
Awesome little documentary👏🌳💚
Wow some of your filming is absolutely spectacular and I love the time lapse photography with the swirling mists clouds and stars. Absolutely beautiful.
I love Dartmoor. This was a very good documentary. Honest and engaging.
Stunning place thank you for filming this
Great video thanks for sharing, got some nice shots of the area but nothing like a good as this. Overlooked the woodlands in Dartmoor, but they have become one of the highlights for me. Exmoor and the Quantocks have some great Oak wooded areas well worth a visit too.
Thanks. Beatiful. Awesome.
Fantastic video, very informative and well put together. Thank you.
incredible photography and the woodlands are breathtaking! what a gorgeous part of the world!
Phenomenal work man, great job!
Second time I’ve watched this. Some beautiful photography and great editing, one of the very best videos I’ve ever seen on our beloved Dartmoor. 😊
Well done.Honestly,amazing work
Such a beautiful place. Your film is worth watching over and over again, the vistas and sounds are calming and just as you said, a reminder of the power of nature to the human soul. Look forward to your next film.
Wow. Stunning footage!
Stunning photography. Very nice work indeed!
A beautiful and wonderfully edited and conceived video! I live in Chicago but I'd love to spend my remaining years in and around this beautiful area. Dartmoor calls.
Loved this, great footage and very informative!
Fantastic Video
I am sitting in the cold north, Wishing my winter away to go there in the spring time
Beautiful video, thank you
Absolutely love this, really enjoyable and relaxing too. Can't wait to move to the moors really soon. More please :)
thankyou for your wonderful narrative of the moors .
can i please share your link on my channel, one of the best channels i have seen
Amazing Video !
Really enjoyed that. Very well done. 👍
This documentary is just……….stunningly good!
Thank you so much 😊
I knew about Dartmood by the Agatha Christie's "The thirteen problems" but I have never thought that Dartmood so beautiful plase thank you for sharing video 🖐👍
Well done boys ,excellent filming. Our planet today, one wonders what will be left in a 100 years time. Lets look after our beautiful world and don't treat it like it belongs to someone else! 😊
Beautiful quality
Lovely
Superb
This was amazing. I’ll be going to Dartmoor (for the first time) in September. Your film almost made me weep ❤
Fantastic video! Amazing landscape! The 'secret wood' looks amazing - just reading about it.. Thanks for sharing! :)
What an Absolute Gem of a Film You have made! Wow. Thank You. Hope you are Well? XXX
Beautiful, going to get me going in a different direction of countryside me thinks . ❤
excellent video thanks.....i always thought of this place a dull monocultured barron landscape. Some rewilding needed here!
wow, what a great video.
Beautifully made film.
Great video
Beautiful, thank you! I was thinking of travelling (via train/coach) to Galicia after Snowdonia to hike but this has got me dreaming :)
Great photography!
Великолепный фильм, отличный монтаж, классная музыка. Спасибо.
great vid!
Epic
A beautiful spot in England and a lovely forest . I have been to so many rainforest in Australia but it is nice to visit one in England .
nice one
Fabulous filming and a real interesting habitat. Guy Shrubsole's "The Lost Rainforests of Great Britain" landed on my doorstep yesterday and I came onto You Tube to see if anyone has covered anything on stuff like this - well done, brillliantly filmed and narrated. Can I ask which was the woodland you were in at 14:36, loved the section of b-roll of you walking at 15.03 was very Tolikenesque with that mist in the background. The woodland you did not disclose I think I know of this plkace although I have never been - it's a popular place for photographers I believe. Anyway, great job. Atb Alan
I know it well. Lovely. Shshhhhh😊
i was on dartmoor today i lived in prince town and thought i knew the moors, found your youtube, i want to explore the ancient woods and forest thankyou.
the clean air is wonderful the moors is like a meditation to me, i love the moors.
I bet the days when there were more trees was magical. I hope we can reforest the world.
17:05 “about 30 degrees today, extreme heat warning “ - laughs in Australian accent 😂
I need to get back there
Thank you for not saying where these woods are. I live on Dartmoor pretty much in a cleve and as much as I don't dislike visitors, humans or rather too many of them have a tendency to mess stuff up
Agreed
Thanks for producing such a beautiful record of some of England's remaining woodlands. What a shame that so much was destroyed, and that deer and livestock continue to keep the natural vegetation from ever returning. With the amount of rainfall you receive, your country should be a temperate rainforest, not sheep pastures and hedgerows. Hopefully, some of it can be "rewilded".
Hey, great footage - Can I ask where these spots are please?
Your soundtrack is fantastic too, is there anywhere I can find it?
Tracklist is in the video description, also thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it
Where is that spot on the Rock looking over the valley?
