Dragons on Dartmoor - Walk, Myths & Dowsing

Join us on St George’s Day to explore all aspects of dragons on Dartmoor. We will hear myths about dragons and see the ruins of tin-mining locations named after them. And also have the opportunity to dowse for ‘serpent lines’ (earth energy lines) at an ancient ceremonial site.


LEVEL: MODERATE - Approximately 6.5km/4miles on open and hilly moorland including some tussocky and boggy ground, and two river crossings. (Route is dependent on weather conditions and group pace)

LOCATION: Car parking area before the 'old Scout Hut' near Gutter Tor. National Grid Reference SX577673. Driving directions/any final details will be emailed approximately a week before the walk; please remember to check your junk email folder.

Car-sharing will be essential so please get in touch to offer/ask for a lift and we will help to coordinate.
