Devon - Dartmoor >> Things To Do >> Walking

The simplest way of getting about on Dartmoor is the best. Walking allows you to take in the details, examine the rocky tors, perhaps catch a glimpse of a red deer or come nose to nose with a wild pony. It’s also the only way to really understand the myths and legends that are such a crucial part of the scenery here. Big walks, short ambles, circular walks or point to point - it almost doesn’t matter where you begin or end, you’re bound to encounter striking views, hidden valleys and ancient woodlands.

Lustleigh
A short three mile walk taking in some of the better known tors, starting in the lane above Lustleigh up the footpath into the woods. At the junction of two paths take the upper one and climb high above the River Bovey. At the end you will find Hunters Tor and the Ancient Hill Tor, follow the path down to the right and then take the dog leg to Peck Farm, returning to your car along the path on the lower slopes of the wood.

The Puffing Billy Track
There is an old tramway track across the south of Dartmoor which climbs to 1,500 feet to give wonderful panoramic views down the south Devon coast. Originally used by the clay mining industry trams, this route forms part of the Two Moors Way, which runs from Ivybridge in the south to Lynmouth in the north.
