Accessible routes on Dartmoor

 

 

Over many recces WAGS have found a wide range of routes. Many can only be undertaken with a guide, others can be easily followed. Paul and Gill Narramore's website has details of many of the routes tested by the WAGs.

​

Always take an OS map with you, take clothes for all weathers. A day can begin sunny but end cold and wet. Take food and water. Let someone know where you are going and when you will be back. If possible walk with a friend!

​

Disabled Ramblers website provides an excellent description of the categories of walks. From Level 1 which is on a good surface, fairly flat and not too long to Level 3 which can be hilly, have a rough surface and be longer.
