Van Life in England's Forgotten Rainforests
Join us as we spend a sunny spring in Dartmoor, where ancient trees still whisper with the memory of England’s lost rainforests. In this episode we park beneath magical waterfalls in our campervan "Bilbo", ease into the season of Beltane among birdsong, and explore mossy trails and a land steeped in folklore. If you want to learn more about these incredible ecosystems, we highly recommend "The Lost Rainforests of Britain" by Guy Shrubsole! 🌿 Link to the waterfall walk: https://alltrails.pxf.io/QjzDgP Wistman's Wood walk: https://alltrails.pxf.io/gOL0Vr NOTE: When visiting Wistman's Wood, please stick to established paths and pay attention to signs. It's not allowed to cross the forest by foot and for good reason - the mosses and ferns are extremely delicate, and trampling them contributes to the diminishing of these ancient places.
