This is a Bonus Square – P1 and it does not feature in the Dartmoor 365 book. This section of the National Park was added after John Hayward’s book was published in 1991.

A ‘bonus square’ is a square that does not feature in the Dartmoor 365 book but is still within the bounds of Dartmoor National Park (DNP). Prior to the book’s publication, DNP was 365 square miles (adding Parke as the 366th for a leap year!), but it expanded sometime after to encompass two additional square miles totalling 368, the number referenced by DNPA today. To facilitate the new area (whilst sticking with the theme of the book), two new squares had to be included on Dartefacts, and those which are generally accepted to be the two on the Facebook group (see acknowledgements) are P1 Double Waters and B18 Crockernwell. It should be noted that the DNP boundary is not straight and therefore some of the squares in the book include land just outside of DNP, and there are also still pockets that aren’t included, such as Shaptor Wood and Cheriton Bishop, which while both a part of the DNP are not referenced. These features are often associated with their nearest square or simply the square they would be found in – but just because they aren’t ‘official’ squares doesn’t mean you can’t tick them off on Dartefacts (they are listed separately!).
