Dartmoor Walks

Dartmoor has a whopping 450 miles of public rights of way. Some follow stone tracks once used by miners and quarriers. Some are short, well-used and waymarked. Others strike out across an expanse of open moor.

Bad and changeable weather can make it easy to get lost - wear the right kit and carry a map and compass. Be aware parts of the moor are also used by the military as live firing ranges.

The DNPA’s website has a wealth of useful information for walkers.
