Tamar Trails

Around 15 miles / 25km of new trails have recently been created in the Tamar Valley as part of the Mining Heritage Project, a £7million investment by public bodies to conserve and improve access to the rich mining heritage of the Tamar Valley. The trails include routes along old mineral tramways and railways where you can learn about the mining history and enjoy stunning landscapes.

Dartmoor Walks

There are many spectacular walks available across Dartmoor, some start right outside or front door. There are literally hundreds of walks on and around Dartmoor from a gentle stroll to an all-day hike.

Letter boxing is very popular in the area, with similarities to orienteering, a small pot (the letterbox) containing a stamp and visitors’ book is hidden on the moor, and a clue is written to lead others to its position. Clues may be as simple as a map reference and list of compass bearings, or may be more cryptic.
