Walking

Dartmoor has over 47,000 hectares of open countryside and 450 miles (730 km) of public rights of way for you to explore and enjoy. The landscape includes the high upland areas, of the north and southern moors, steep sided river valleys and ancient woodlands. On the open moor you are free to choose your own walking route and there is no need to keep to footpaths. You should only cross over walls or fences where there are properly constructed stiles or gates . The Ordnance Survey OL28 1:25,000 Outdoor Leisure map is recommended for walkers.

The Barn is well placed for walking up onto the high moors, nearby Lydford forest, Lydford Gorge and Brentor and many other interesting places.

We offer a separate drying/storage room for clothing and boots.

Please contact us if you are interested in guided walks on the moor as we can arrange an experienced guide to take you. He has a vast amount of local knowledge including archaeology and natural history.

Dartmoor National Park Authority has a programme of walks and details can be found on its website.
