Yelverton, United Kingdom, provides an ideal starting point for a vacation seeped in the wonders of Dartmoor National Park. This small town is located on the southern edge of the park, which itself is famed for its 368 square miles of history, natural wonders, hiking trails and more. The park is considered a favorite among hikers who wish to explore the moors and rising peaks like High Willhays, which climbs into the sky some 2,039 feet. If the great outdoors doesn’t appeal, visitors will soon discover that Buckland Abbey, the home of Sir Francis Drake, is also a major stop in Yelverton. The 700-year-old home, in fact, dominates that landscape. The abbey itself is open to visitors and has long been rumored to be “haunted” by Drake.
