Dartmoor National Park sits in the heart of Devon, England, and invites travelers to step into a landscape that has changed little over thousands of years. Rolling moorland, deep river valleys, and more than 450 miles of paths give visitors space to explore at their own pace. Ancient stone rows, circular dwellings, and burial cairns spread across the moorland are reminders of people who lived here as far back as the Bronze Age.

Dead Sea
The Dead Sea lies at the lowest point on Earth, around 430 meters below sea level, and features water with nearly ten times the salinity of the ocean. That level of salinity makes floating on its surface effortless. Visitors can lie back without effort, with views opening across barren hills and reflective water. This shoreline also hosts a mix of minerals collected over millennia and known for their soothing effect on skin and joints.

This beautiful holy city is a spiritual lightning rod and sacred to Jews, Muslims and Christians all over the world. Although Jerusalem is known primarily for its religious history, the city is also home to many artistic and cultural venues.
