Enjoy a fascinating walk on Gidleigh Common exploring prehistoric sites such as chambered cairns, ruined round houses, and a stunning stone circle followed by a delicious cream tea or homemade cake made by volunteers raising money for beautiful Holy Trinity Church. Afterwards, we will stroll back to our cars along an ancient track through fields, woodland, and pretty country lanes.
LEVEL: MODERATE. Approximately 7km/4 miles in hilly and open moorland, ancient tracks, and pretty country lanes through hamlets and farmsteads.
(Route is dependent on weather conditions and group pace).
LOCATION: Park just off the track leading to Buttern Farm, Gidleigh

Driving directions/any final details will be emailed approximately a week before the walk; please remember to check your junk email folder.
Please car share where possible. Parking is limited on Dartmoor and sharing lessens our impact on the environment. Thank you.

CANCELLATION: The event will go ahead come rain or shine. We do not offer refunds. If you cancel more than 4 weeks before the date of the walk or experience we will send you a credit note to use within 1 year minus a £5 admin fee and the £2 booking fee. We do not transfer tickets so in this instance you can use your credit note to rebook with us.
If you cancel within 4 weeks of the date of a walk or experience we recommend that you try to resell/pass on your ticket yourself. If you resell/pass on please let us know who will be attending in your place.
We have seen a significant number of cancellations over the past few years, and as a very small organisation we have suffered and therefore as a consequence we now have a strict no refund policy - we do hope you understand and will continue to support us.
