Itinerary
- Ashburton · 30 min
Known as a "stannary" town, this quintessential English Market town is known as the "Gateway" to Dartmoor. Be enchanted by its architecture, its heritage and contribution to Englands historical past and resident infamous seafarer............learn more!
- Princetown · 1 h
A small moorland habitat whose residents in the prison make up over a quarter of the total population. It may not be the prettiest but mention the "Prince of Wales", a famous brewery and a mad axeman and you get an understanding of its diversity and intrigue.
- Foggintor Quarry · 1 h 10 min
The largest of the three main quarries on Dartmoor and without doubt the most spectacular. On first viewing you will be taken aback by its strange beauty, its stillness and the myths and legends harboured within it. The walk to and from the quarry is equal to the destination and fulfilling in itself.
- Haytor Vale · 45 min
No trip to Dartmoor is complete without the ascent of one of Dartmoors 150 plus tors. Probably the most famous and accessible, the 360 degree view from the top of Hay Tor will take your breath away and connect you with one of the most beautiful places on our planet. A great way to conclude your tour
