About this walk

Meandering around the Meavy.

“I have never before in my long and eclectic career been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming War Horse on Dartmoor.” – Steven Speilberg

Distances

5.5km

Difficulty

Whilst this is a straightforward walk in good weather, this is open rough country following an unmarked route for much of its length. The country is prone to impenetrable fog that can descend without warning. The ability to use a map and compass is therefore a key skill necessary to undertake this walk safely.

Time

To enjoy the walk and a picnic with stops along the way allow 2-3hrs.
