The wild open speces of Dartmoor can be appreciated on this walk. The route takes you past a number of rocky tors, visits an area used for peat cutting and follows a section of the Rattlestone Peat Railway. All in all a walk full of interest.

The walk starts at Lydford and makes its way up onto open moorland. It is a day walk. On a clear day, there will be far-reaching views, and on a not-so-clear day, refreshing navigation skills. This walk will lead you into open moorland. From (4) to (7), the route doesn't follow paths on the map. It is strongly recommended that you follow the route using the GPX on the Visorando app, with the backup of a map and compass. Do not attempt unless you are a competent 'remote' walker, with good navigation skills, and you are prepared for any eventualities.This walk leads into one of the Dartmoor Firing ranges. See Practical Information for information.This route can be used as a navigational exercise for competent walkers. NOTE: Dartmoor's weather can change in an instant; one minute it's sunny, and the next, thick with fog, it can be dry, then heavy rain.

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.

A circular walk with beautiful views over Dartmoor Tavy Cleave.

Stage 6 is a tricky navigational test as we leave the Dartmoor National Park and head into Mid Devon. The route crosses the A 30, the main Exeter to Barnstaple rail line and the busy A 377. There's plenty to keep you occupied and some pretty hamlets to go through (avoiding some interesting villages, so you might be tempted to go off-route at some point).

Lovely walk to discover the Dartmoor National Park. This walk starts from Fingle Bridge National Trust and has great view on Castle Drogo.

Staying at the small campsite, the walk follows a route through the narrow country lanes past the Parkham Farms Dairy, who produce cheese for the likes of Tesco.

Care when crossing, then taking the lane downhill towards Bucks Mills. As the lane winds a way downhill, passing a Church and many dwellings. Making the way downhill and following the stream, through the wooded valley has a lot to look out for. Near the bottom is the old Mill House and onto the sea passing a National Trust cottage associated with two famous painters. On the shingle/ pebble beach and NE there is a waterfall worth getting a closer look at. SW direction is the adjacent town of Clovelly. The return route follows the same way until Bucks Cross, whereby picking up the directions for Woolfardisworthy (Woolsery). Pass through Woolsery and then return following the markers/ directions

A circular walk in the east of Dartmoor following roads and paths, including sections of the Two Moors Way. The walk includes a mix of open moorland, footpaths and quiet roads where the farming hinterlands meet the moor.
