This cycle and walking route runs for 11 miles between Lydford and Okehampton along a disused railway line. The route forms part of the National Cycle network with Okehampton the most popular start point where bicycles can be hired locally. The off road track has the advantage of being mostly traffic free. Meldon Viaduct offers spectacular views across the moors.
This 17th Century inn is a great place to start or round off a day on Dartmoor. Centrally located in the village, you can also explore nearby Walkhampton Common with archaeological sites and quarry where stone was taken to build the original London Bridge. The pub offers homemade food, real ales, log fires and a beer garden for summer months. Dogs are welcome too.
Having recently undergone a big makeover, the Carpenters Arms is ready to welcome guests with warm hospitality and excellent home-cooked food. Bright, clean and cosy, the pub is very popular so booking ahead is advised.
You'll be spoilt for choice here with walking trails, mountain biking, bike hire, geocaching, tree top activities and bushcrafts. Plenty to keep all the family occupied and there's a cafe, perfect for when you need to re-fuel.
A traditional English country inn near the famous Haytor Rocks on Dartmoor. Open log fires, excellent food (AA Rosette) and fine local ales make it an ideal refuelling stop for walkers.
England's youngest castle, designed by Lutyens and built of Dartmoor granite with all the mod-cons of the 1920's. At 300 metres high, it catches the wildest of Dartmoor's weather. Try a spot of croquet on the croquet lawn or amble through the garden and miles of walks in the Teign Gorge.
With a fistfull of awards including Taste of the West Gold 2016 and AA two Rosettes, pop in for delicious food created using food from local suppliers. You'll receive a warm welcome in contemporary surroundings.
A delightful Dartmoor inn surrounded by moorland and close to the village centre. Food is home cooked and real ales are available. In winter a roaring log fire will keep you warm and during the summer months there's a sheltered garden with access via a bridge over a moorland stream. Dogs are welcome on a lead.
The very heart of Dartmoor, this village is tucked into breathtakingly beautiful countryside. A couple of friendly pubs, cosy tea-rooms serving cream teas and a blissful, far-from-the-modern-world atmosphere.
Set in the heart of the beautiful 'chocolate box' village of Lustleigh, this thatched pub dates back to the 15th century and offers a warm welcome to locals, walkers, cyclists and visitors alike. There's a lovely cottage garden to enjoy on warmer days and open log fires to snuggle up in front of during the winter.
One of the last few real wildernesses in southern England, Dartmoor is sheer bliss for outdoorsy types. You could spend an entire two week holiday simply rambling over the moors, pottering about the tors and generally finding the peace that modern life has rendered so scarce.
