Dartmoor Rocks

Have you ever wondered how the tors on Dartmoor were formed? Or how the different types of rocks and minerals have been extracted and used through the ages? Join Dartmoor’s Daughter and Willem Montagne, expert geologist, guide, and retired DNPA Education Officer, to learn about the geology and geomorphology of this beautiful living, working landscape.


Tickets

FEE: £20 per adult. Group size is limited so pre-booking is essential. 

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:

Quarry carpark at Burrator SX 54965 67678. Directions will be sent closer to the date.

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, snacks and 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 - approximately 6km on paths, lanes, and open moorland with some steep and rocky sections.

Route is dependent on weather conditions and group pace'.

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.

Dartmoor’s Daughter has received the ‘We’re Good to Go’ Industry Standard Certificate.  If you have a cold, flu, cough, temperature or are diagnosed with COVID-19 please do not join the walk. You will be able to transfer your booking to another walk.

RISK: Walks and activities are at your own risk. No liability accepted for accidents or incidents.
