Accessed from the A38, in the car park off the B3387 three miles west of Bovey Tracey. The road climbs steeply from Bovey Tracey, but the spectacular views from Haytor are worth the drive. There are a variety of longer and shorter walks in the area - the friendly staff at the centre will help you plan your route. Maps, guide books and other useful outdoor kit can be purchased here.
A short three mile walk taking in some of the better known tors, starting in the lane above Lustleigh up the footpath into the woods. At the junction of two paths take the upper one and climb high above the River Bovey.
