Walking on the Moor
The moors offers the visitor a wide range of walking activities. There are numerous short walks starting from parking just off-road, leading to beauty spots, great views and the many Tors. Information on guided walks is available on request. Finally there are an infinite combinations of walks that can be taken using the Ordnance Survey maps or the many books detailing walks in the area. The walks can take you around beautiful reservoirs, to waterfalls and over the wild and fabulous open areas of the moors.

Letterboxing
As an extension to walking Dartmoor offers a novel and intriguing activity, that of Letterboxing. Letterboxes are hidden all over the moors and the fun is in finding them. There is a great deal of information available except their exact location . Once you find them you use the stamp that is located in the letterbox and stamp your map or Letterbox Record as proof.

Archaeology
As an activity on its own or as part of a walk, Dartmoor offers some excellent archaeological sites, especially Bronze Age settlements, such as that at Grimspound. In addition there are stone rows and circles, cairns and cists.

Places to visit
We have many guidebooks detailing places to visit and these include castles, country parks, lots of children’s attractions, potteries and of course places to eat the best cream teas.

Riding
There are a number of stables locally that offer riding for all ages and ability. As riders we believe there are few things more exhilarating than cantering or galloping over the open moorland.

Angling
The river Dart boasts sea trout, brown trout and salmon. Fishing permits are available from most tackle shops.

Kayaking
For those looking for something more adventurous the river Dart offers excellent kayaking during the season.

Cycling
Dartmoor is National Trust Land and as such there are cycling restrictions. However, there are miles and miles of Bridle Paths and small roads that offer testing riding. You can’t get better air to breath and views to see.
