This is a website entirely devoted to self-guided walking routes in West Devon although there are a few that stray into East Cornwall Plymouth and South Hams. All the suggested routes are fully photographed and accurately described so if you are not that comfortable in map reading these walks are for you. Download the walk to your smart phone and off you go.

If you are a member of Tavistock Ramblers you may have been on some of these walks
You will find more than 60 walks here varying from 2.5 to 10 miles and covering an area from Plymstock to Okehampton from Milton Abbot to Princetown. All the walks are free to use.
WEST DEVON WAY
Brentor, the hill in the photograph, is the logo for the West Devon Way and you will see it on the way markers as you walk the route.
VILLAGE and COUNTRYSIDE Walks
Here you will find lots of West Devon village and countryside walks.
I will be adding more village walks in 2024 especially in the north of the area and on the the eastern side of the West Devon Area
Exploring the Lower Tamar Valley
10 self guided walks of historical and archaeological interest
PUB WALKS
In this section I have brought together all the walks which pass, start or end at a pub. I have also included the pub website so that you can book a table or order lunch.
Wheelchair Walks
In 2023 the Tavistock Canal towpath was upgraded by Devon County Council to make it suitable for wheelchairs. This is now just one of several suggested routes that wheelchairs and trampers can do in the West Devon Area.
On this page there are also links to local wheelchair user groups like the Dartmoor Wheeled Access Group www.dartmoorwags.org
If you don’t drive or don’t have a car no worries just hop on a bus and go on a BUSTOP WALK.
Most of the walks use the No. 1 bus route between Plymouth and Tavistock. Other walks include the 79 from Tavistock to Callington and the 118 from Tavistock to Okehampton.
More walks will be added.
