This is one of four carefully selected walks, designed to showcase the very best of Dartmoor.

A spectacular day walking through the heart of Dartmoor, taking in ten of its distinctive granite tors, including the famous Haytor and Hound Tor.

Starting high on the moor, the route takes us through open moorland, ancient tracks and rocky landscapes, with far-reaching views across Dartmoor. We also follow part of the historic Haytor Granite Tramway, built in the 1820s to carry granite from the Haytor quarries down to the Stover Canal. Its granite rails can still be seen today, offering a fascinating glimpse into Dartmoor’s industrial past.

Below Hound Tor, we discover the remains of a medieval farming settlement, with the foundations of several longhouses and smaller buildings still clearly visible. Dating from around the 13th century, the settlement gives a remarkable insight into the lives of the farming families who once lived and worked on these high moors.

Along the way we discover ten very different tors, combining spectacular scenery with the fascinating story of Dartmoor’s landscape and the people who have shaped it.

Highlights: Haytor • Hound Tor • Ten granite tors • Medieval settlement • Haytor Granite Tramway • Open moorland • Panoramic views • Dartmoor’s industrial and agricultural heritage

One day. Ten tors. Centuries of history. A great way to experience the very best of Dartmoor.

Lustleigh Cleeve & Dartmoor’s Granite Giants

One walk. Four remarkable landmarks. A perfect taste of Dartmoor’s scenery, stories and granite giants.

A beautiful circular walk from the charming village of Lustleigh, taking us onto the open moor and through some of Dartmoor’s most distinctive granite landscapes.

The route climbs onto Lustleigh Cleeve, with wonderful views across the Wray Valley, before continuing towards Hunter’s Tor and Sharpitor. Along the way, the landscape changes from wooded valleys and open heath to the dramatic granite outcrops that give Dartmoor its unmistakable character.

One of the day’s highlights is Bowerman’s Nose, one of Dartmoor’s most recognisable natural landmarks. This wonderfully weathered granite formation is steeped in local legend and provides a spectacular finale to a day combining beautiful scenery, fascinating geology and Dartmoor folklore.

Returning to Lustleigh, there is time to appreciate one of Dartmoor’s prettiest villages and its picturesque surroundings.

Highlights: Lustleigh • Lustleigh Cleeve • Hunter’s Tor • Sharpitor • Bowerman’s Nose • Woodland • Granite tors • Dartmoor legends • Panoramic views

Distance: 11 miles / 17.7km. Ascent/ descent: 680m / 2230ft.

Hamel Down & Grimspound

From Bronze Age settlers to tin miners and peat cutters — a walk through thousands of years of Dartmoor’s human history.

A fascinating walk through some of Dartmoor’s most evocative landscapes, beginning at the historic Warren Inn and heading across open moorland towards the broad sweep of Hamel Down.

The landscape tells stories of Dartmoor’s working past as well as its ancient history. Along the route we encounter evidence of the tin-mining industry, which once provided an important livelihood for communities across the moor. We also explore the remains and traces of the traditional peat and turf industry, when Dartmoor’s peatlands were harvested for fuel and other uses.

A major highlight is Grimspound, one of Dartmoor’s most impressive prehistoric settlements. Nestled among the granite landscape, its remains include the foundations of around 24 Bronze Age roundhouses enclosed by a substantial stone wall. Standing here, it is easy to imagine the people who lived and worked on the moor more than 3,000 years ago.

The walk continues across the open moor, revealing a landscape shaped by prehistoric settlement, centuries of industry and generations of farming, with wonderful views across Dartmoor.

This is the fourth of our carefully selected Dartmoor walks, a collection that explores the moor’s spectacular scenery, granite tors, ancient settlements and fascinating human history.

Highlights: Hamel Down • Grimspound • Tin mining • Peat and turf industry • Bronze Age settlement • Open moorland • Panoramic views

Distance: 9.8 miles. Ascent/ descent: 460m.

Postbridge, Grey Wethers & Fernworthy

Prehistory, forest, reservoir and open moorland – a wonderfully varied Dartmoor day finishing with a well-earned drink at the historic Warren House Inn.

Starting from the historic hamlet of Postbridge, this varied Dartmoor walk heads north across open moorland to the remarkable Grey Wethers Stone Circles. Two almost identical Bronze Age circles stand side by side on the high moor, offering a fascinating glimpse into Dartmoor’s prehistoric past. Their purpose remains something of a mystery, adding to the atmosphere of this remote landscape.

From the stone circles, the route continues through Fernworthy Forest, where ancient archaeology sits amongst the modern plantation. Hidden among the trees is the Fernworthy ceremonial complex, including a stone circle, stone rows and cairns – evidence of the importance of this landscape thousands of years ago.

The walk then reaches Fernworthy Reservoir, a peaceful contrast to the open moorland, with woodland and water providing a wonderful change of scenery. From here, we make our way back towards the open moor and finish at the ancient Warren House Inn, one of Dartmoor’s most atmospheric and historic stopping places – the perfect setting for a well-earned drink and a chance to reflect on a day exploring some of Dartmoor’s finest landscapes and prehistoric remains.

Breakfast and check out then, a short walk will be offered this morning following check-out.
