You will find about 70 free to use walks here varying from 2 to 10 miles and covering an area from Plymstock to Okehampton from Milton Abbot to Princetown. If you have been out with the Tavistock Ramblers you may have been on one of these walks. Happy Walking.
Not sure which walk to go on?
HOW ABOUT THE PIXIES HOUSE WALK AT BURRATOR IT’S JUST UNDER 5 MILES (FIND IT UNDER DARTMOOR WALKS SOUTH)
OR IF THATS TOO LONG GO FOR THE MEAVY TO BURRATOR RESERVOIR WALK WHICH IS JUST 2.5 MILES LONG AND STARTS FROM THE PUB IN MEAVY. (FIND IT UNDER VILLAGE AND COUNTRYSIDE ITS THE LAST ONE ON THE LIST.)
IF YOU LIVE IN THE NORTH OF THE REGION GO FOR THE STICKLEPATH WALK IT PASSES 4 PUBS ON THE WAY AROUND. (FIND IT UNDER DARTMOOR NORTH)
IF YOU WANT A REALLY SHORT WALK GO FOR THE 1.5 MILE HEXWORTHY WALK (FIND IT UNDER MIDDLE DARTMOOR WALKS) or The new Briseworthy Short walk its also a bit over 1.5 miles. FIND IT UNDER DARTMOOR SOUTH
Dartmoor Walks have been divided up into North, Middle and South Dartmoor. You will also find some Dartmoor Walks under the West Devon Way heading.
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.
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
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.
