About

We’ve spent 20 years wandering Dartmoor, testing those slightly more hidden routes so you don’t have to. Need things to do on Dartmoor with the kids? Every walk is handpicked, packed with tips, and designed to be simple to follow. No vague instructions, no aimless wandering, just solid routes with all the info you need to make the most of your time outdoors.

Families

Outdoorsy parents, we see you. We’ve got 35 carefully selected routes, all stress-free and family-friendly. Buggy-accessible paths? Kid-friendly distances? Stops for snacks? We’ve thought of it all, so you don’t have to.

Distance

175km of well-planned routes, no map skills required. Step-by-step directions and What3Words start points mean you’ll always know where you’re going. No guesswork, no getting lost, no “are we nearly there yet?” from the back.

Curated

No crowdsourced chaos here. Every walk is personally tested, fine-tuned, and built for the best experience, whether you’re after a 'Doddle' a 'Trek' or a 'Challenge'. We don’t just throw pins on a map; we build walks that actually work.

Stories

Dartmoor is full of stories, and we’re here to share them. Ancient stone circles, secret viewpoints, local legends, you won’t just be walking, you’ll be discovering. Every route has a bit of magic waiting to be found.

Testimonials

Honestly brilliant. It's exactly what I've been missing. I could never just find good outdoor routes that have been fully thought about for kids. I can't wait to get access to all these routes.

Sophie

Mum of three.

Most places have a list of 4 or 5 routes that might be possible for my girl to do but reality is there isn't enough information on whether I can take things like buggies or where to have lunch. This does just that

Phillipe

Dad of one.

Seeing a mixture of routes that are kid friendly and cover different types of terrain is extremely useful. I came down from the midlands and didn't know where to go with my two little ones. This nails it.

Jenny

Mum of two.
