WALKING WEST DEVON
On this web site you will find over 70 free to use walks on the West side of Dartmoor covering an area from Plymstock to Okehampton and from Milton Abbot to Princetown.
You won’t find any adverts or cookies.
If you have been out with the Tavistock Ramblers you may have been on one of these walks.
After you have downloaded and been on one of these walks I would love to have a bit of feed back or a review of the walk.
Please read these safety notes before you go walking
Happy Walking.
NEWS AND UPDATES
Three New walks for you to try.
A Circumnavigation of Chagford
Find it under Village and Countryside walks but I have also put it in Dartmoor North walks as it is well within the Dartmoor National Park and does cross open access land. A 4 mile walk that includes a bit of the Two Moors Way.
Lydford a short walk
A walk that takes you all the way around the ancient village of Lydford with its castle and is only 2 miles. Walk ancient footpaths go past an equally ancient spring and under a huge disused viaduct. Find it under Pub Walks or Village and Countryside Walks.
Okehampton Castle and the Tarka Trail.
A 4.2 mile walk that takes you high up above the town for some splendid views and to walk through a prehistoric hillfort. Then to walk the Tarka Trail by the river and visit Okehampton castle which is now free to go around.
News
If you are walking around Bere Ferrers on Tamar Valley Walks 2 the alternative option at the end of the walk is presently not possible because at that lower end of Footpath 2 where it meets the main road into the village the ladder style has been damaged by fire.
Also just opposite the burnt out ladder stile
The footpath that goes up to the station from the main road in is presently closed while some utility work is being undertaken.
If you are planning on doing a Meavy or Burrator walk be aware the Royal Oak pub in Meavy is closing on the 15th of December and there is no kitchen as of the end of November.
