What To Do

decisions, decisions, real decisions.

Fall in love with Dartmoor, not just for the way it looks, but for what it can offer. Enjoy good local Dartmoor food, wander farmers markets, take in an art gallery or pick up something unique in the boutique shops of the moorland towns.

If it's a faster pace of life you're afte, a rush of adrenaline, get on your bike and get cycling, run, hike, yomp, climb. Not enough? Canoe some of the best water in the UK on the River Dart, take in the moor on horseback and challenge yourself.

Visit castles and ruins, go letterboxing, take a masterclass, go to the zoo, swim al fresco. Thought morris dancing and snail racing had long since disappeared? It's all part of what makes Dartmoor real.
