About this activity

You will be picked up and dropped off at your accommodation in a luxury, air conditioned Mercedes 7 x seater. Together we will explore the wild beauty of Dartmoor, with its windswept moors, ancient settlements and towering granite tors. Walk amongst the wild ponies and highland cattle whilst immersing yourself in mystical landscape before retreating to a traditional cosy pub (lunch is not included but we will reserve a table for you). Embrace locations that inspired Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to write their most famous novels. Experience this breath-taking land of myths and legends from both the comfort of the Merecedes and on foot to ensure you “touch and feel” this unique entity. Discover, learn and importantly have some fun on this truly unique full day tour.

NB: inclusive pick up / drop off fee covers 15 mile radius from Paignton TQ4 6BW

Itinerary

Ashburton

30 min

Known as a "stannary" town, this quintessential English Market town is known as the "Gateway" to Dartmoor. Be enchanted by its architecture, its heritage and contribution to Englands historical past and resident infamous seafarer............learn more!
Princetown

one hour

A small moorland habitat whose residents in the prison make up over a quarter of the total population. It may not be the prettiest but mention the "Prince of Wales", a famous brewery and a mad axeman and you get an understanding of its diversity and intrigue.
Foggintor Quarry

1 h 10 min

The largest of the three main quarries on Dartmoor and without doubt the most spectacular. On first viewing you will be taken aback by its strange beauty, its stillness and the myths and legends harboured within it. The walk to and from the quarry is equal to the destination and fulfilling in itself.
Haytor Vale

45 min

No trip to Dartmoor is complete without the ascent of one of Dartmoors 150 plus tors. Probably the most famous and accessible, the 360 degree view from the top of Hay Tor will take your breath away and connect you with one of the most beautiful places on our planet. A great way to conclude your tour
