About the trail

Book your walking holiday around the Dartmoor Way, a well-signposted circular route beginning and ending in Ivybridge. Fully overhauled in 2020, this long-distance lowland trail interweaves wild walking through the outskirts of Dartmoor National Park — including moorland, wooded valleys and impressive views to bulky tors — with jaunts through the stone-built towns and tiny hamlets that nestle at the park’s edge. Over footpaths, bridleway and old drovers’ roads, the Dartmoor Way visits hilltop churches, prehistoric stones and nature reserves, with wild ponies roaming the moors.
