Discover Dartmoor’s Rainforests: Dart Valley — Focus on filmy ferns

This is a very pretty route and a little shorter and easier than the rest in this series, though it does have a section of very stony path which we will take slowly.  It dips down into the Dart Valley, before following a fairly level path through the trees.

We get a chance to see an uncommon rainforest plant on this walk:  the exquisite filmy fern.  Its fronds are only an inch long and translucent; if you haven’t seen them before (and even if you have!), you are in for a treat.
