About

Dartmoor walks don’t have to involve donning a huge rucksack and striding out onto the granite plateau, reliant on your navigation skills. Particularly on the eastern and southern sides – where rivers have cut deeply into softer slates and shales – undulating pasture, wooded
valleys and a network of green lanes offer easy-to-follow routes suitable for a reasonably active group.

TIME: 2 hrs
START/FINISH: The Carpenters Arms, Ilsington SX 786761
TERRAIN: Green lanes through undulating fields and woodland; several ascents and descents, some steep
MAP: OS Explorer OL28 or 110 Torquay & Dawlish
PUBLIC TRANSPORT: None
PARKING: Laneside near pub
