Dowsing has been used for thousands of years and around the world to find water, archaeology, missing people, as well as allergy testing. Join us for an introduction to dowsing for earth energy lines at the extraordinary prehistoric sites on Mardon Down. Surrounded by panoramic views on a clear day, we will explore the ruins of the largest stone circle on Dartmoor, a standing stone, multiple burial chambers and other features….and muse on the local legend of a cow-whispering giant!

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.

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.
