Dartmoor walks

Friday's 10.30 - 3.30pm

​

Explore Dartmoor and learn more about the history and nature of the moor. Walks between 7 – 10 miles with a fair amount of ascent. Nordic walking and the use of poles really does help when walking the moor. They help you get up the hills, and are great for steadying when required!

Coast & Countryside walks

Tuesdays 10 - 12pm

​

Explore Devon with a regular Tuesday morning walk in various locations. Between 4 - 6 miles, the walks are selected for their suitability for Nordic walking, accessibility and parking, along with a great Devonshire cafe or pub for refreshments or lunch afterwards.

 

The walks are paced to the slowest member of the group. Those who wish to walk faster can go ahead and circulate back to rejoin the group. There is always time to stop and catch your breath and take in the view, like here on the gorgeous Ashcombe Estate.
