This walk includes a peat works, tin mining and 19th century naphtha works are part of this walk which also includes Sir William Petre’s boundary, the River Avon, a cross with the arms knocked off, and the old Zeal Tor tramway 
In search of the Devil’s Wisht hounds in an ancient stunted oak forest, this walk also takes in 360-degree views from Longaford Tors. A 4.6 mile easy/medium walk.
This medium difficulty walk of six miles takes in an old potato starch factory and a beautiful waterfall… 
Find out where the piskies like to play, as well as a stunning stone circle. Most of this four-and-a-half-mile walk is on open moorland and sometimes the ‘track’ disappears and then re-appears again, but the landmarks are very prominent. 
About as level as walk as it gets on Dartmoor – an easy two miles to Buckland Beacon and back, taking in a beautiful view and the intriguing ten commandment stones. 
There might be giants on Dartmoor, and this 20ft sculpture called Giant’s Chair could just prove it. This six mile Dartmoor walk takes in the modern masterpiece as well as a tragic legend, an ancient cross and the Bronze age settlement of Grimspound. |
