Thanks for all the kind comments on the video. It's so nice to hear how many of you enjoyed it 😊 if you want to see my new film about the Temperate Rainforest of Southwest England, have a watch here: ruclips.net/video/s0IzBjz10ss/видео.html&ab_channel=MagicCarpetMedia
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
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! 🤗🤝
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.
Thank you for creating this gem of a video. Absolutely beautiful work and what an incredible place to explore. I’ve trailed across parts of the moor, it brought back some wonderful memories. Again, thanks
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.
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.
A very nice video with some beautiful scenes. As a Norwegian who are used to see thick forest stretching into the horizon, it’s sad to see how there are only small patches of forest left in the UK 😢
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.
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 🖐👍
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!
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! 😊
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.
This should be on Netflix and advertised on there. Its amazing. Thank you so much for creating. Knowledge, the music working with it like a big BBC production.
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.
Great film mate, as an avid wildcamper and hiker, it was great to see you capture the beauty places I don’t visit that often (I’m usually up on the moor and tors in my tent) Dartmoor is the best place on earth 😌🙏🏻
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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".
HI, thank you for such nice video, I would like to ask you for permission if I can use it in my class for teaching.. we will soon talk about sustainability and environment and I thought this video would give my students a better outlook
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.
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 !
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 some of your filming is absolutely spectacular and I love the time lapse photography with the swirling mists clouds and stars. Absolutely beautiful.
A lovely video, but not a secret to the people that live there. Now a threatened environment by tourists from the towns using the place as a rubbish tip, and threats of closure by landowners and Lithium mining companies.
Thanks for all the kind comments on the video. It's so nice to hear how many of you enjoyed it 😊 if you want to see my new film about the Temperate Rainforest of Southwest England, have a watch here: ruclips.net/video/s0IzBjz10ss/видео.html&ab_channel=MagicCarpetMedia
Our local youth group has a trip planned to Dartmoor. Can we use some of the video footage (not the music) for a reel?
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!
@@Tawny6702 and you’ve clearly never been to Cornwall
IT IS SO NICE TO HAVE A VARIETY OF DAYS . . .
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.

Well done for not giving away all these special and some hidden locations. A great film

@@MagicCarpetMedia 😃👍 fantastic
This is a fantastc video. Great filming and comments.
Your Forrests in the UK got a sad story and there is almost nothing left.
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.
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.

This is a beautifully filmed mini documentary. Well done Sir

THIS IS PHENOMENAL. The soundscapes are wonderful, even without the images it's enchanting. Well done.
God I can’t wait to be home from uni to be back on Dartmoor

A marvellous production, some really breath-taking shots. I really enjoyed viewing. I am very fortunate to live just 10 minutes from Dartmoor.

Thank you for this gorgeous piece of work..🙏
This video is a gift. Thank you 😊

🇬🇧 I agree. Beautiful video.
What an Absolute Gem of a Film You have made! Wow. Thank You. Hope you are Well? XXX
This documentary is just……….stunningly good!
Thank you so much 😊

Beautiful. Thoughtfully made. Thank you for not naming the places. This is crucial.
theres almost no Forest in the UK. Learn from Germany.....
What?
Wow. Stunning footage!
17:05 “about 30 degrees today, extreme heat warning “ - laughs in Australian accent 😂
Great film mate, as an avid wildcamper and hiker, it was great to see you capture the beauty places I don’t visit that often (I’m usually up on the moor and tors in my tent)
Dartmoor is the best place on earth
😌🙏🏻
Congratulations on an excellent film. I will have to scour the map to find thse for my photographic interest.
Admire your love and dedication to one of the most beautiful environments in the British Isles.
Phenomenal work man, great job!

wow, what a great video.
Spent the majority of the last 3-4 years in Dartmoor very quickly taught me to love this country again

That’s very true. I live just south of London in Kent the North Downs are covered in vast swathes of ancient woodland
Wow! Fantastic. Big hello from the US.
What a beautiful short film! Thoroughly enjoyed every second.
I want to submerged in to it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Unreal cinematography, love the time lapses and woodland shots!
I atched your new film. So beautiful and inspiring. I shared it with our Geography teacher I was so impressed.
excellent video thanks.....i always thought of this place a dull monocultured barron landscape. Some rewilding needed here!
This is brilliant, really enjoyed watching this!! Great job, thank you!!
Really fantastic and should be viewed far and wide!

YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL - THEY MAKE ME CRY - THANK YOU
Beautiful, going to get me going in a different direction of countryside me thinks . ❤
Awesome little documentary👏🌳💚
Thanks. Beatiful. Awesome.
I bet the days when there were more trees was magical. I hope we can reforest the world.
This is beautiful. Thank you.
I hope you’re so proud of this!! It’s so good!!
I know it well. Lovely. Shshhhhh😊
Where are you at this water part
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

Of course, no problem. just stream it from RUclips and enlighten your class 😊
@@MagicCarpetMedia Thank you very much, I really appreciate
Absolutely stunning.
I need to get back there
Fantastic video! Amazing landscape! The 'secret wood' looks amazing - just reading about it.. Thanks for sharing! :)
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.
Beautiful, thank you! I was thinking of travelling (via train/coach) to Galicia after Snowdonia to hike but this has got me dreaming :)
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 !

This was amazing. I’ll be going to Dartmoor (for the first time) in September. Your film almost made me weep ❤
A lovely film. Great videography and a minimum of verbiage letting this beautiful landscape speak for itself.
Wow just a superb piece of filming and production. Thank you for sharing and very nice work!
Amazing Video !
Великолепный фильм, отличный монтаж, классная музыка. Спасибо.
Fantastic video, very informative and well put together. Thank you.

What are you going to do about it
Beautiful forest, beautiful video. Thank you. 🎉😊
Fantastic Video
I am sitting in the cold north, Wishing my winter away to go there in the spring time
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 .
8:53 - the place I proposed to my fiancé. It is a truly magical area, unknown to most.
I love Dartmoor. This was a very good documentary. Honest and engaging.
Dumbfounded
Superb
Hey, great footage - Can I ask where these spots are please?
