Audio Walk for Haytor


Want to know a bit about Dartmoor, but haven’t got the time to join a Guided Walk?  Then why not download our new Haytor Audio Walk onto your mp3/iPod and enjoy a walk with a difference, when it suits you!

The Haytor Audio Walk is a 6.3 mile (10 km) walk starting from the newly-built Haytor Information Centre and offers stunning views over a changing landscape, as well as a flavour of Dartmoor’s cultural heritage.

The Audio Walk is divided into tracks which are then played when you reach each location, including Haytor Quarry, the Granite Tramway, Hound Tor Medieval Settlement, Houndtor Rocks and Haytor Rocks.

As an added bonus, the accompanying music on the soundtrack - “Poor Man’s Heaven” - is courtesy of local Dartmoor folk musician, Seth Lakeman (reproduced by kind permission of Seth Lakeman and EMI).
