Dartmoor is the source of many stunning rivers flowing down to the oceans. Walk with Dartmoor’s Daughter past majestic granite tors with beautiful views to a beautiful river pool or lake-filled quarry to enjoy the refreshing feeling of a wild swim. And learn how the rivers on Dartmoor have been used for centuries for farming, drinking, industry, and more.
After meeting at the start point, you'll go through introductions and a short safety briefing. Your guide will ask if there is anything in particular you would like to see, do, or learn about, so that the experience is tailored to your own interests and pace.
You'll then walk the route with stops along to way to drink in the views and hear about local history, folklore, flora, fauna, taste wild edibles, as well as have the chance to swim.
Finally, your tour will conclude by walking back to the start point. You'll be sent an email with photos from your day.
