About 5 years ago I started putting onto the Tavistock Ramblers website. a number of Self Guided Walks for the members and general public to use. When their website was rebuilt there wasn’t any room for my walks so I created this website. You will find about 60 walks here varying from 2 to 10 miles and covering an area from Plymstock to Okehampton from Milton Abbot to Princetown and they are all free to use but I would urge you to click on the yellow box above before you download any walks as you will find a lot more information there. Happy Walking.
ALL THE WALKS
VILLAGE and COUNTRYSIDE Walks
Here you will find walks exploring the little villages and our lovely West Devon countryside
WEST DEVON WAY
The West Devon way is a 37 mile route between Plymstock on the east side of Plymouth to Okehampton on the north side of Dartmoor which I have divided up into 15 circular walks.
If you don’t have a car then take the bus to the start of the walk. Most of the walks use the No1 Stagecoach bus that travels between Plymouth Royal Parade and Tavistock. There are also walks using the 118 from Tavistock to Okehampton and the 79 that goes from Tavistock to Callington
Walking in the Tamar Valley
Here you will find 10 walks of archaeological and historical interest on both sides of the Tamar between Cargreen and Sydenham Damerel
PUB WALKS
In this section I have brought together all the walks where there is a pub either at the start, at the end or in the middle. There are no new walks.
Wheelchair walks
In 2023 Devon County Council with encouragement from Tavistock Ramblers and their footpath officer upgraded the footpath along the Tavistock canal to make it suitable for wheelchair access. Click here to see that route. There are also lots more trails and tracks in West Devon that are quite suitable for wheelchairs and trampers to use some of which are listed here by clicking on the box below. If you haven’t already done so why not join the Disabled Ramblers Group or more locally the Dartmoor Wheeled Access Group.
