The Dartmoor crosses are a series of stone crosses found in Dartmoor National Park in the centre of Devon, England. Many of them are old navigational aids, needed because of the remoteness of the moorland and its typically bad weather. Some mark medieval routes between abbeys. Other crosses were erected as memorials, for prayer, as town or market crosses, in churchyards, and as boundary markers. The crosses were erected over a long period of time, some as recently as 100 years ago, the earliest probably almost 1,000 years ago.

  • Las Cruces de Dartmoor​ (en inglés: Dartmoor crosses) son una serie de cruces de piedra que se encuentran en el parque nacional de Dartmoor, en el centro de Devon, Inglaterra, Reino Unido. Muchas de ellas fueron viejas ayudas a la navegación, necesarias debido a la lejanía de los páramos y su conocido mal tiempo. Algunas marcan rutas medievales entre abadías. Otras cruces fueron erigidas como monumentos a la oración, como cruces de pueblo o mercado, en los cementerios y como indicadores de límites. Las cruces fueron erigidas durante un largo período de tiempo, algunas tan recientemente como hace 100 años atrás, mientras que las primeras probablemente tienen casi 1000 años. (es)
  • Le croci di Dartmoor sono una serie di croci in pietra che si possono trovare nel di Dartmoor, al centro del Devon, in Inghilterra. Molte di loro sono riferimenti antichi per viaggiatori all'interno della brughiera, vasta e senza punti di riferimento. Alcune indicano ancora oggi antiche strade medievali per giungere a locali abbazie ed erano quindi utilizzate anche dai pellegrini. Altre croci vennero erette come memoriali, come luogo di preghiera o come punti importanti. Le croci vennero erette lungo un periodo prolungato, alcune hanno circa 100 anni ma le più antiche ne hanno quasi 1000. (it)
