A guidebook to 39 day walks and one two-day Ten Tors challenge
across the Dartmoor National Park and its surrounding area. The
guide contains low-level shorter walks and higher level more
strenuous and challenging routes, therefore there's a walk suitable
for all abilities, allowing you to explore all of what Devon's
national park has to offer. Each walk contains a detailed route
description, 1:50,000 OS maps and colour photography, alongside
practical information on public transport links and refreshment
stops on each walk. Dartmoor, a National Park since 1951, is wild,
and at times isolated. Its a land of blanket bogs and grass moors
dotted with fascinating tors, old stone clapper bridges,
tree-shaded river valleys and a diverse range of wildlife. Our
ancestors have left behind a fascinating treasure trove from
intriguing stone rows to fascinating stones circles and burial
cairns to hut circles. There are also the stark ruins of Dartmoor's
mining heritage, picturesque villages and hamlets that are home to
interesting old churches and cosy pubs. You'll be able to stand on
High Willhays which, at 621m (2039 ft), is not only a mountain, but
also the highest point in Southern England. On a clear day from
many of Dartmoor's summits there are great views out over Devon's
rural landscape and west into Cornwall to Bodmin Moor.
