This Pathfinder Guide is the ideal companion for country walks on Dartmoor. Clear and easy-to-follow directions are accompanied by detailed maps from Ordnance Survey, and specially commissioned photographs.

With 28 colour-coded routes to choose from, all tried and tested by seasoned walkers, and varying from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, there is a walk to suit everyone.

Much of central Dartmoor is an uninhabited wilderness - almost free of villages, farms, trees and roads - but it is of outstanding environmental value, functioning mainly as a stock-rearing area and as a military training ground. From this mass rise Dartmoor's rivers, including the Lyd, Tavy, East and West Dart, Bovey, Teign, Taw and Okement, nearly all of which flow southwards to the English Channel.

The large numbers of tors that dominate Dartmoor are the remnants of hard masses of granite, drastically reduced in size and moulded into their present shapes by millions of years of weatherings.

Bowerman's Nose, Hound Tor and Haytor Rocks are famous examples included on these walks. Cranbrook Castle, an Iron Age hill fort, is also featured, as are Castle Drogo - a 20th century castle; Lydford Gorge - an almost perpendicuar ravine of rocks, cliffs, trees and waterfalls; and attractive moorland towns and villages such as Moretonhampstead, North Bovey and Widecombe in the Moor. There is also an opportunity to cross an ancient clapper bridge over the East Dart at Postbridge.
