Meavy walks

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.

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

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).

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.

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

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

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 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 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.

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.

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.
