John Noblet explore what is sometimes called ‘England’s last great wilderness’. On Dartmoor, you can be further from a road than anywhere else in England.

Walks for all Ages Dartmoor features 20 circular walks of up to 6 miles, suitable for all the family, that have been carefully chosen to show a snapshot of all that the moor has to offer.

There are walks on the wild side, in river valleys and around some of the towns and villages. The ‘must see’ places such as Haytor and Widecombe, Postbridge and Princetown are also included.

Describing the local area at the start of each walk, John then provides a detailed description of the walk with snippets of information as you go along.
