A fun and interesting way of connecting children to the beautiful Dartmoor landscape. Families will be invited to team up into ‘wolf packs’ so you can help each other to search and tick off a picture list of several different types of animals, plants, trees, and flowers as well as objects in the landscape. Plus there are rocks to climb, a granite tramline to follow, pond-filled quarry to explore, and several letterboxes/geocaching to find.

We also recommend bringing personal masks, a pair of disposable gloves, and a personal first aid kit.
