Woodland Walk from Okehampton Station
We walk to a beautiful woodland - a fine example of a ‘temperate rain forest’. Here we take time to learn about this precious habitat and to study some of its amazing biodiversity, including luxuriant mats of globally rare mosses and lichens.
If you’d like to explore an area or aspect of Dartmoor not covered by these sample walks, here are a few more of an almost limitless range of suggestions available on a private hire basis:
A walk through time from Bennett’s Cross
Gentle circular walk full of historic interest; from abandoned mines, though a medieval village to the Bronze Age settlement of Grimspound
The roof of Dartmoor
Eight mile walk beside the pretty Red-a-Ven Brook before a steady climb to Dartmoor’s highest points – Yes Tor and High Willhays – with panoramic views
The heart of Dartmoor
Challenging walk across peat bog – a fascinating habitat – to Dartmoor’s most remote point
There’s so much to show you!
