Walking

Whether you’re looking for a challenging trek across windswept moors, or just a relaxing stroll through secluded woods, you’ve come to the right place . Dartmoor has it all. You can blaze your own trail, or follow one of the many planned routes in leaflets and books (including family routes designed to put the children in charge!) lasting from an hour to a full day.

Suggested Routes
Walking on Dartmoor is excellent. Different tastes and experiences are catered for. For the less demanding walker there are car parks from which brief, pleasant excursions can be made. For the more hardened explorer many miles over hard ground can be tramped in challenging conditions. For a wide choice of walking routes see:

Why not join one of the many Dartmoor National Park Authority walks led by a guide with a wealth of local knowledge (if you arrive at a DNPA guided walk by bus your walk is FREE!). For a full guided walks programme see:
