Walk through an ancient and ritual Dartmoor landscape. These prehistoric stone circles form an approximate arc. So, taking an archaeological as well as phenomenological approach, we will journey together (sometimes in silence and sometimes sharing our experiences) through this wild and beautiful landscape asking questions of the ancestors, stones, and land along the way.
Tickets
FEE: £35 per adult including a coffee and pastry for breakfast to encourage an early start! Older children 16+ years are welcome if they have sufficient walking experience and fitness. Group size is limited so pre-booking is essential.
Location
8.15am for 8.30am walking start at the grassy car parking area near 'Roundy Pound' on the way to Batworthy-In-The-Moor above Chagford. Grid Ref: SX663868
Nearest postcode is TQ138ET but Sat Nav is unlikely to get you to the exact location (it usually stops about 3/4 mile before the meeting point near the hamlet of Teigncombe) so please follow the directions which will be emailed to participants.
Finish time will be approximately 6-7pm depending on our group pace and how long you want to spend in the circles.
Car Sharing - Please car share where possible. Parking is limited on Dartmoor. And sharing lessens our impact on the environment. Thank you.
