Dartmoor is a gem known for its stunning landscapes, from rolling hills to ancient granite tors offering sweeping views and a window into its rich geology.

The moor’s rivers, invite visitors for wild swimming and scenic picnics, while open moorlands and valleys are a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, home to Dartmoor’s iconic wild ponies, highland cattle, and rare birds like skylarks.

Dartmoor blends nature, history, and adventure, providing unforgettable experiences for all, whether you seek solitude or exploration in this magical wilderness.

 

Route Description

The setting on this circular route is sublime. For a good segment of our walk, we are next to the River Dart which rages through steep-sided gorge walls. The noise and natural beauty are exceptional. After a walk though White Woods we will reach Sharrah pool, here are huge boulders and granite slabs lining a long pool of water. This is where we can take an optional cold dip!

After Sharrah Pool we will head to our hidden gem, Venford Reservoir which sits in the midst of the craggy hills of Dartmoor. Our winding footpath around the water’s edge is just over a mile in length and surrounded by broadleaf majestic trees. From Venford Reservoir we will walk through the moors back to our starting point.

Come along to discover the natural beauty of the Wild Dartmoor!

All of our hiking leaders hold the relevant qualifications and have heaps of knowledge on the plants, landscapes and history of our national parks. The leader will create a WhatsApp group before the event providing all the information you need and you ladies can also use the group to organise car share and get to know each other.
