Travel with Moor Care
Dartmoor may look wild and rugged but in reality it is extremely fragile. Erosion and general 'over use' particularly at peak periods damages the very fabric of the moor. As more and more people travel across and around the moor every year the pressure is increasing. If you can travel around by means other than the car then please do so . Find out how you can help by Travelling with Moor Care.
Car-free holiday ideas
Dartmoor is a great place to come and leave your car behind. If you like to walk or cycle you can arrive by public transport and have a completely car free weekend or short break. The Dartmoor Way is a cycling and walking route linking some of Dartmoor's towns and villages with wonderful countryside. Order a pack from our on line shop.
