A large wildfire that destroyed about 1,230 acres (50 sq km) of land on Dartmoor happened at "the very worst time for wildlife", a charity has said.

Farmers, Dartmoor National Park rangers and firefighters all helped tackle the blaze at the Dartmoor Forest area near Cut Hill.

The fire started on Sunday and was extinguished at about 17:00 BST on Monday. Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said the cause of the blaze was still unknown.
