Carving a Trail
Ilsington, Newton Abbot, Devon, TQ13 9RR
About this walk
Dartmoor walks don’t have to involve donning a huge rucksack and striding out onto the granite plateau, reliant on your navigation skills. Particularly on the eastern and southern sides – where rivers have cut deeply into softer slates and shales – undulating pasture, wooded
valleys and a network of green lanes offer easy-to-follow routes suitable for a reasonably active group.
