Bovey Tracey

The town council is investing £60,000 to fund the project in Mill Marsh Park in Bovey Tracey.

Crews used wildfire beaters to contain the flames which stretched about 490ft (150m) at Rippon Tor.

The fire service says broken glass in sunlight can start fires in hot weather, along with barbecues.

Four fire engines are at the scene of the blaze in a grass field near Bovey Tracey.

National Highways says a car overturned onto its roof and diversions were put in place.

The shutting of the facilities on Dartmoor comes as the national park authority faces funding cuts.

The government is proposing changes to copyright law.
