The unique Memorial Strreetscape Tree Carvings and the Village Green Tree Carvings are a must to visit.
Nine Carvings depicting Sevicemen & Women line the street at Dartmoor, whilst three carved trees at the Village Green feature some 38 Nursery Rhyme Characters, native animals & three horses drinking at a trough. Animals carved on top of bollards line the top of the sloping conifer planted bank at the Green.
Continue a little further to the Historic Horse Trough & Flume and on to the tranquil camping area at Fort O’Hare. conoe launching site and the Glenelg River .

    A great stopover for the little kids and the big kids as well. A well setup playground nearby and “real coffee” in the same street… Well done Dartmoor! You could teach some other smaller towns a thing or two about survival.

    Our Tree Carvings create great Community Pride, and are a wonderful experience for Visitors to our town. Tourism has increased enormously since these projects have been completed.
    I ecourage everyone to visit our great little town.
