What's On Dartmoor

A Guide to Local Events and Walks

The Events and Guided Walks programme is a comprehensive guide to 'What's On' in the Dartmoor area.  Whether you are here for the day or are a local resident, this diary will help you find out what is happening.  We hope you will enjoy what Dartmoor has to offer.

Dartmoor National Park Authority Walks and Events

Dartmoor National Park Authority Guided Walks are designed to help you to further your understanding and enjoyment of Dartmoor.  The walks are led by our team of knowledgeable guides, who are all Dartmoor enthusiasts.  Walks vary in length and will always be taken at the speed of the slowest walker, so don't be put off!  However, do be aware of your own capabilities.  Everyone walking with our guides must do so at their own risk.  If you have any doubts, talk to them before you set off and they will be pleased to advise you.  Final walking routes will be decided by the guide, taking into account the weather and ability of the group.

We hope that this programme will help everyone enjoy Dartmoor to the full and understand its unique landscape and atmosphere.

It may be possible to hire a guide to lead a walk on Dartmoor. For more details contact the Events and Activities Officer
