Dartmoor Way

The Dartmoor Way is an ideal way to explore some of the less well-known sides of Dartmoor at any time of the year.

The circular route offers over 90 miles of generally easy walking through a fantastic variety of scenery all set around the moorland edge.

Treat yourself to a day out, a long weekend to walk a short section of the route or a full week to visit some of the many attractions along the way; you will discover leafy lanes and sheltered valleys, delightful historic towns and picture postcard villages, open skies and panoramic vistas of the open moor set around the moorland edge.

The trail can be accessed by bus and/or train routes to allow for short lengths to be walked. For up-todate information on timetables call the Traveline on 0870 608 2608 or visit www.traveline.org.uk
