This information has been produced by the Dartmoor National Park Authority in conjunction with Dartmoor For All, and is designed to help and encourage those who are disabled, less mobile or have young children, to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside in the Dartmoor area. This information will help you to make the right choices for your day out. Nearly half of Dartmoor is registered common land. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, a right of access was created for persons on foot or horseback. This right extends to those using wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, although one should be aware that the natural terrain and gradients may curb access in practice. Common land and other areas of 'access land' are marked on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map, Outdoor Leisure 28.

    Geoscience in south-west England SOIL GAS ANOMALIES IN THE DARTMOOR AREA G.A. DUDDRIDGE Duddridge, G.A. 2001. Soil gas anomalies in the Dartmoor area. Geoscience in south-west England, 10, 000-000 Geochemical work was carried out at a sampling density of 1/km2 in the South Zeal to Lustleigh area, along a 30 km length of the Sticklepath Fault. The survey revealed high soil gas helium, carbon dioxide and radon in areas close to the fault and at a number of other locations. Both the soil gas analysis and stream patterns suggest a fault zone rather than one single structure. The low density soil gas mapping and previous work has shown that soil gas helium has not been recorded higher than 604 ppb above normal atmospheric levels in the Dartmoor area. Carbon dioxide was only exceptionally above 6% and radon showed higher activity both in relationship to the granite and faulting. 67 Higher Exwick Hill, Exwick, Exeter, EX4 2AW, U.K. (E-mail [email protected]). INTRODUCTION Helium and carbon dioxide are normally present within the soil pores and concentrations are often above the normal atmospheric levels of 5220 ppb and 0.035% respectively. Radon is also, often present. Soil gas values may be particularly high when measured above faults and fractures which form permeable pathways for the gases. The measurement of these gases may be carried out using the methods described in Duddridge et al. (1991) and Duddridge and Grainger (1998). There is no specific concentration of helium (He) and carbon dioxide (CO2), or activity level in the case of radon (Rn), that sets a threshold for a soil gas anomaly.
