Open moorland and reservoir on the edge of Dartmoor with broad skies, granite outcrops and reflective water — ideal for sweeping landscapes, moody weather shots and wildlife. Best at sunrise/sunset for low-angle light and reflections; autumn/winter bring dramatic skies. Accessible from Meldon Reservoir/Viaduct car park (no entry fee); paths are a mix of flat tracks and uneven ground so wear boots. Weekday mornings are quiet; parking available but limited on busy weekends.
