Plan your walk
Weather on the moor can change quickly, so check the forecast before you go.
Take a map and compass, wear sturdy footwear and let someone know your route. Parts of the north moor are used for military training, so check the firing times too.
Walking with dogs
Keep your dog on a short lead around livestock and during the ground-nesting bird season.
Walk with a ranger
Our rangers and volunteers lead walks across the moor all year round.
Learn about the landscape, wildlife and history of Dartmoor from the people who look after it.
Leave no trace
Take your litter home, close gates behind you and stay on paths to protect the moor for everyone.
