Buckland Monachorum walks

A circular walk in woodlands along River Walkham until the confluence and then, in meadows with beautiful views over Dartmoor Tors far away.

The Devon village of Yelverton is the start and end point for this walk that includes a circuit of the Burrator Reservoir. The route includes some typical country lanes of the area and views to some of Dartmoor's Tors.

This small and easy walk mainly in Denhman wood lets you discover old Denham bridge (17th-century) and the banks of the River Tavy.

Crossing the River Plym and climbing up through the woods to the top. At the top of the rocky outcrop, see the far-reaching views of Plymouth Sound, passing through stone circle clusters, and a waymark cross. Crossing the river again at Cadover, then following the old 'Pipe Track' back down to Shaugh Bridge.

A lovely circular walk from Calstock, first along the river Tamar leading to the famous Cotehele Quay before heading mainly to woodlands and meadows.

This pleasant hike partly using Tamar Valley discovery trail along the River Tamar provides a way of visiting World Heritage sites around Tamar Valley including Oker Tor mine and Calstock Roman Fort site.

A circular walk using a part of Dartmoor waymarked path across stunning moors, along streams and passing King's Tor for a nice overlook.

Retracing the old moorland railway line before passing many Stone Age hut circles, a stone row, and an old firing range. Passing an area where conservation work involving re-wetting of the moors is being done. Passing a small waterfall and then following a leat before returning to the parking area

Burrator Reservoir, on the Western fringes of Dartmoor National Park, is a local beauty spot in itself, which has many guided routes through the trees and water line. This walk follows a well-defined track up onto the higher moors, then makes its way back on another well-defined path, through the village of Sheepstor, and finally follows the lane around the Reservoir, passing many interesting artifacts along the way to see and wonder.

A circular walk around Burrator Reservoir, through woodland trails, and up to Sheepstor Tor, the high point of the area, through some "Bluebell woods" (when in season).

Dartmoor is known for its remote, rocky hilltops, known as tors. This short walk takes in three of the most easily accessible tors on the moor. The route gives walkers, new to the area, an example of open moorland and to 'bag' some tors. The route passes the popular Vixen Tor and the 'Windy Post Cross'.

This walk, although relatively short, may play tricks with the mind. The first is seeing Cox Tor, the first objective, directly north of the car park. It appears higher than it is due to the open vista to the west. Once reaching the top, you are rewarded with panoramic views across much of the west and moorland. The route then leads through an old Stone Age, Stone Circle settlement to Roos and Staple Tor. With the perception of distance playing a trick, the Tors appear a long way away. Then dropping down to a leat, past Merrivale Quarry (disused), and making the way back following the leat to Windy Cross before reaching the start. With the start point being visible for much of the walk, the temptation to shorten a planned route becomes willpower.

It's an easy family walk leading to a stunning 360° viewpoint from Great Miss Tor and a lovely place to enjoy colours of sunset as well.

A walk that takes in the industrial past within this area. Climbing some Tors and seeing the panoramic views. Shortly after the first waypoint, the route doesn't follow paths on the map, but can still be followed. The paths on this route are not very visible/marked in places. It is strongly recommended that you follow the route using the GPX on the Visorando app.

The old Princetown to Yelverton moorland railway line, now disused, is a well-defined linear feature high up on Dartmoor, a popular destination. The walk, starting in Princetown and 'walking out the track', offers options to explore Stone Age settlements and the disused granite quarries in the area, passing some Dartmoor tors, and on a clear day, provides some far-reaching views of West Devon.

The route is on Dartmoor's south moor, and it follows some well-defined linear features, which will assist route finding. The route passes many interesting artifacts, including moorland Crosses, Fox Tor Mire, which inspired Conan Doyle's The Hounds of the Baskerville, and Grimpen Mire. The river Swincombe footbridge, and even walking on a part of what was once a road built by conscientious objectors.

A walk to explore some moorland tors, an open moorland walk, which offers the experience of the remoteness of the moor, yet is still relatively safe for the novice walker. The walk has several features that can act as a safety net for the walker to reference, to check the location. Should the walker wander, there are other natural stops to get back on track.

A walk out onto open moorland, with the reassurance of following clearly defined linear features. The walk follows the boundary of the Forest of Dartmoor, and continues along the Devonport Leat to Peat Cot, a remote moorland hamlet. Working the way back to Tor Royal, Bullpark and Bacholar's Hall, before returning to Princetown and views of the Prison.

Amazing views over the China clay works, mica pits, and views across to Plymouth sound in one direction and moorland in the other.

The Two Moors Way was officially opened on 29 May 1976. In 2005 the Two Moors Way was linked with the Erme–Plym Trail from Ivybridge to Wembury on the south Devon coast to create a cross-county coast-to-coast route of over 115 miles.

This stage is really an add-on to the official route. There is an option to use the Erme-Plym Trail that is, in itself, an add-on to the original Two Moors Way. This will take you straight to Ivybridge through Brixton and Yealmpton. However, this route takes you along the coast to Wembury. The ferry option reduces the road walking considerably.

Varied walk including ancient forest, a Quarry lake and open moorland. Fabulous views across to Plymouth Sound.

Varied walk starting and ending in Cornwood Square. Some road but open moorland, farmland and walled footpaths.

Walk across high moor above River Erme passing ancient oak woodland of Piles Copse.

Mixed road and moorland walk taking in beautiful ancient oak woodland and high moorland views.

Circular walk from Cornwood, some on roads, skirting the Western edge of Hangar Down.

A circular walk, some on roads, crossing Hangar Down.

Wistman's Wood is a National Nature Reserve, an ancient dwarf oak woodland. It is one of Britain's ancient temperate rainforests. This route leads to the edge of the woods, and find the Buller Stone, an inscribed granite boulder. The route then climbs up to the ridge and some impressive moorland Tors, with panoramic views.

A circular walk with beautiful views over Dartmoor Tavy Cleave.

This is a small (but often wet and slippery, be careful with children!) spectacular hike along the River Lyd in a loop. You will discover the deepest river gorge in the south-west using several impressive footbridges over the gorge and you will see a beautiful waterfall too.

This circular walk starting from the Church of St Mary and St Julian, mainly along the coastal path, provides a way of visiting World Heritage sites around the mouth of River Tamar including Mount Edgcumbe and Cremyll.

This short and easy walk is the perfect place if you want to admire the view of Plymouth Sound, St John's lake, Cawsand Bay and the mouth of the River Tamar, particularly at sunset.
