Mindfulness Walk to Black-a-Tor Copse

Feel your senses come alive and daily stresses melt away as we walk mostly in silence and soak up the beauty of the moor. Moss and lichens drape ancient oaks in Black a Tor copse. One of three ancient woodlands on high Dartmoor, it is less known or visited than Wistman’s Wood.

Tickets

We need to retain contact details for 21 days post-walk so please include your contact details (email and mobile/telephone when booking/paying.)


Location

Prewley Moor - Prewley Moor car parking area. Grid Reference: SX544910. The nearest postcode is EX20 4HX but please don’t rely on your sat nav to get you to the exact location, it likely won’t on Dartmoor. If you use the What3Words App, the location is ‘creatures.canoe.regal’. Directions: From the A30 leave at Sourton (Shell) Services and take the A386 Tavistock road. Take the second left (south of the slip road) towards Prewley water treatment works, and the car parking area is here on the left. Please do not block this entrance road, or farmers' access to the moor. There are no toilets here.

Car Sharing - Please car share in your ‘bubbles’ where possible. Parking is limited on Dartmoor. And sharing lessens our impact on the environment. Thank you.

Further Information

WHAT TO WEAR/BRING: Sturdy walking boots; warm layers; sunscreen; waterproof jacket and trousers (whatever the forecast); walking poles if you have them; drink/flask and snack or picnic lunch.

Dogs - By arrangement only please.

We also recommend bringing personal masks, a pair of disposable gloves, and a personal first aid kit. (From a safety perspective, this offers additional protection against Covid-19 if there were to be an accident and first aid is required by me or the rescue teams. Sorry we know it seems onerous but, given current government guidelines, these are currently being proposed by all guides.)

LEVEL: Moderate

CANCELLATION: The event will go ahead come rain or shine. Payments are refunded (less the booking fee) for cancellations no less than six weeks before your walk or experience.
