In a little less than 3 years Nathan and myself have knocked off over 100 squares of the Dartmoor 365 in the process of our Dartmoor Hiking. So it’s no wonder that we often get asked, What is the Best Walk on Dartmoor, or What are the best Dartmoor walks? Well, we thought […]

MAY 2016 This 7mile walk takes in the Okehampton Range, so it would be wise to find out whether or not any military exercises are taking place on the day you choose to participate in this walk. It also involves a river crossing so best to not consider this walk during […]
MAY 2016 This 8-mile walk on Dartmoor National Park enters the Wislworthy Range, so it is worth looking up whether or not there will be any military exercises taking place on the day you wish to partake. This was an early walk of ours, so its more obscure, and not well […]

JUNE 2016 An account of our first bad weather hike on Dartmoor This 8 1/2mile (13.6km) walk takes us into the Okehampton Range area – so it is worth checking that there are no military exercises taking place on the days you may wish to follow our route. It takes in […]
This stunning 8km walk takes in the beautiful area of Sheepstor and Burrator Reservoir. Only 4 squares to tick off of John Heywoods 365 map, but still a lot of the diverse Dartmoor landscape to be explored, including leat-side woodland, and three great tors, so expect A LOT of UP today but its worth […]
This 12KM was actually two separate walks – we had visited Kingstor in a previous week, but as its not too far out of the way, I thought I would incorporate it into this walk. The Merrivale area is a fantastic spot for exploring, with numerous antiquities and tors all in close […]
This strenuous 8-mile circular walk takes in river crosses and enters the Merrivale Firing range so be sure to check weather conditions and the firing times before you set off. The walk also takes in 11 squares of John Heywoods Dartmoor 365 map, squares M9, M10, L8, L9, L10, K8, K9, K10, J8, J9, and J10 […]
This strenuous 12km circular walk on Dartmoor’s north moor, takes in the highest point (High Willhays) once again as well as a selection of fantastic Tor’s (West Mill Tor, Yes Tor and Rowtor) and views of Meldon Resrvoir. Sent to us by Andrew Ross, a viewer of our channel, this walk was a […]
This walk is a difficult one, and I must add A WET ONE! I walked this in the middle of a rare dry summer and although the terrain was relatively firm for me, it was apparent by the terrain that this is a very marshy section, with quite a lot […]
