Task
1. Study the following map of the local area
2. Describe and explain 3 different reasons why this area is at
risk of being destroyed (5)
1. It has good access. This means that people from the surrounding areas
can easily travel up
2. There are many places to park for people who have travelled up
3. It is close to other towns and vlllages such as Postbridge
4. There are lots of attractions in the area. This means that people may
spend the day here

What have you learnt?
Trampling, especially in extreme conditions, causes the mat of
Path erosion
vegetation and roots to break up and expose the soil
As the path becomes muddy and
difficult to follow, people avoid the gully
and the trampled area widens
Trampling, by a variety of agents, at
first causes a change in vegetation
from taller plants e.g. gorse, heather
and bracken, to shorter grasses.
If the vegetation is not able to recover,
then water run-off, combined with wind
and frost begins to create gullies.
Further trampling combined with water, wind and frost action soon
enlarges the gully and exposes the rocks beneath the soil.
Trampling by walkers, climbers and
livestock has exposed the soil around
the base of the rocks
The popularity of the path from
Lower Haytor car park to Haytor
granite quarry led to muddy
impassable ground.
Patches of bare earth have been
restored with turf as well as reseeded
with the Authority’s moorland grass
seed mix.
Some works have involved temporary
diversions to allow vegetation to
recover – accompanied by discreet
signs explaining the reasons for the
work and asking for people’s cooperation.
Large granite boulders are used to
block off grass parking areas in the
winter when the ground is soft and
more vulnerable to damage from
tyres. This both protects the grass and
reduces the number of people using
the area.
Paths running from the Lower Haytor
car park to the Rocks suffered from
both narrowing by gorse
encroachment and increased erosion
from water runoff.
The route from the upper car park to
the Rocks is used by thousands of
visitors which created erosion gullies
People have driven vehicles onto the
open land causing damage around the
car park and roadsides
Low grassed banks have been created
beside the roads and in car parks.
Gorse clearance (burning and mowing)
has been undertaken so as to widen or
increase the number of paths and so
spread the load of walkers walking
between the two points.
Problems caused by horses were
successfully solved through
negotiation with local horse riders,
stable owners and the provision of an
alternative route.
The fence around the quarry attracts
people and livestock causing changes
to the surrounding vegetation and soil.
A redesigned walks leaflet for the
Haytor area now avoids the sensitive
areas.
he Ranger Service have the duty to
maintain the Dartmoor Commons
Byelaw (3) that restricts the use of
motor vehicles and mountain bikes,
both of which can cause damage
leading to erosion.
he information centre at Lower
Haytor car park helps inform the
general public. Well informed visitors
are less likely to have a damaging
impact on the moor.
