It's no coincidence that at Gidleigh Park we offer a boot room for guest use, wellingtons and stout walking boots are almost compulsory attire for many of our guests.

Dartmoor is a walker's paradise, offering a huge variety of trails that cater for all abilities, and discovering this magical landscape on foot affords the opportunity to observe the wildlife and natural vegetation that are at home here.

Postbridge and Bellever are both circular walks taking in a varied mix of scenery, riverside trails, moorland, woodland, waterfalls and historical remains.

Chagford, our local village, is a great starting point for walkers and one of the most worthwhile walks is the four and a half miles that take you to the top of Nattadon Hill, a steep climb, but when you reach the summit, the view beyond you is well worth the exertion.

On the estate itself, there are several routes which we can provide self-guiding maps, or by prior appointment, we can organise for a local guide. Wherever your trails take you, we are happy to equip you with sustenance - speak with our Reception team who can organise a picnic rucksack when requested in advance.
