FAQs about Dartmoor National Park Tours
What are the best areas in Dartmoor National Park for family-friendly hikes?
Start at Postbridge or Foggintor Quarry for easy, well-marked trails. Postbridge offers a gentle loop walk to a 900-year-old clapper bridge. Foggintor’s industrial heritage trail is flat and engaging for children. Avoid exposed moorland in poor weather. Always bring waterproofs and sturdy footwear regardless of forecast.
When is the rainy season in Dartmoor National Park, and how does it affect hiking?
Dartmoor sees consistent rainfall year-round, peaking from October to January. Persistent drizzle and boggy trails are common. High ground becomes treacherous in winter. For hiking, aim for May to September when rainfall decreases and paths dry slightly. Always check the Dartmoor National Park Authority’s weather updates before setting out.
How do I avoid getting lost on Dartmoor with its limited signage?
Carry a detailed OS Map (1:25,000 Explorer OL28) and a compass - GPS can fail. Stick to marked trails near populated tors like Haytor or Hound Tor if inexperienced. Note key landmarks: stone rows, gateways, and river bends. Inform someone of your route and expected return. Emergency Ordnance Survey grid references are posted at patrol shelters.
Are there any local passes or tickets for Dartmoor National Park attractions and transport?
Dartmoor has no official pass, but the Dartmoor Rover ticket offers unlimited regional bus travel for a day. Valid on services linking Okehampton, Moretonhampstead, and Princetown. Combine with free access to trails and historic sites like Becka Brook Mine. Car parks charge fees at sites like Haytor and Two Bridges - bring cash or use RingGo.
