Dartmoor is in the county of Devon, just east of Cornwall - and it's where Martin grew up...

Walking week of huge variety... Experience the magnificent heights of Dartmoor National Park, which rises to over 2000 feet above sea level - and the depths of the beautiful valleys that surround it. See early Man's numerous prehistoric remains and marvel at his tenacity. See the granite core of the westcountry revealed in all it's magnificence - in weather beaten tors of incredibly shaped boulders, where all kinds wildlife finds their refuge. In the valleys below, discover quiet mossy beauty, with trees draped in ferns, with tumbling moorland streams and rivers finding their way steeply down towards the sea. The walks offer a great range of contrasts and are steeped in history too. With 368 square miles of national park to explore, the possibilities are endless. Even if the weather should be un-friendly on any particular day, there are many other places of interest to see too - such as stately homes and castles, waterfalls, beautiful gardens and pretty moorland churches - not to mention such famous places as Buckland Abbey (once the the home of Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh) and Widecombe in the Moor - with "Uncle Tom Cobbly and all...." 

Classic walking country with un-bridled views

Your accommodation for this tour will be in a beautiful country house hotel right on the edge of the moors - where it's a short drive in our mini bus up onto the high moors above. Enjoy great cuisine and a warm friendly welcome. See Dartmoor through the eyes of someone who grew up here and knows where to find beauty, solitude - and all the interest.
