US Army War Memorial

This memorial stands as a quiet testament to the thousands of US Army personnel who were stationed on Dartmoor during the Second World War. The bleak, exposed moor became an unlikely training ground for soldiers preparing for the D-Day landings, and the landscape itself became part of their story.

Today, the memorial offers visitors a chance to reflect on this lesser-known chapter of Dartmoor's history, a period when the ancient moorland served purposes far removed from its timeless character. Standing here, you're reminded of how conflict reached even into these remote corners of Devon.
