West Country Dartmoor

Visitors to Dartmoor are being urged to stay away from its native ponies to help stop the spread of a vicious new strain of strangles.

Thousands are attracted to the woods every year. And the advice is not looking for that to stop but for people to walk around the site rather than go into it.

Crews were called to the property to extinguish the fire when they found it quickly spreading to a nearby unused building.
