Fun and educational, your children will be invited to awaken their senses of smell, sight and touch through imaginative games. Then to transform into 'bloodhounds' to track signs and symbols in the landscape along a trail from Hound Tor.
For thousands of years, our ancestors tracked animals and each other from prints and signs left behind. And for centuries, we have bred dogs to help us along the way. Hound Tor on Dartmoor is full of mystery and history - the perfect place for your children to practice their tracking abilities!
Plus there are rocks to climb, several letterboxes to find, stories to tell, and games to play...
