Walks to welcome you to Dartmoor

The Dartmoor National Park Authority have come up with a series of walks to introduce people to Dartmoor.  The walks have been designed for less confident walkers to explore Dartmoor.  The clever people at the Authority have also allowed for refreshment stops “en route” to enrich the Dartmoor experience and support local businesses.

There are 6 walks available ranging from 3km (1 hour) to 10km (4 hours).

Each of these Dartmoor walks can be downloaded from the The DNPA website. Although there’s no need if you’re staying at our Dartmoor Holiday Cottage, not only do we provide a selection of local Dartmoor Walks at the cottage, we’ve added these also.
