This week, 4Corners contributor Suzy Bennett received the award for Best UK & Ireland Tourism Project from the British Guild of Travel Writers in recognition of her personal project The Dartmoor Artisan Trail, a self-guided art, craft and food trail that links Dartmoor's finest artists and craftspeople, and gives visitors a glimpse behind the workshop walls and try their hand at traditional skills.

What began as an exhibition of local artisans' portraits evolved into something more vital than a photographic record as Suzy travelled from workshop to studio to workshop around the moor; it became a Dartmoor-wide trail to showcase traditional hands-on skill and artistry in action. Her trail links interesting and varied artisans from blacksmiths to beekeepers, painters to potters, woodturners, weavers and many more.

"This project is a celebration of Dartmoor’s rich creative heritage. There is a resurgence of interest in traditional skills and crafts across the UK, and Dartmoor is one of the creative hubs of this new energy. In a world of mass production, it’s wonderful to see things being made by hand, with passion, honesty and integrity".

— Suzy Bennett, founder of The Dartmoor Artisan Trail

Here, 4Corners presents a selection of Suzy Bennett's scenic images of Dartmoor National Park, but she's also travelled widely to India and the Far East. Her destination images are timeless, but it's her portraits from home and abroad that stand out; each with a special warmth and intimacy that transports us instantly to the moment.
