This information has been produced by the Dartmoor National Park Authority in conjunction with Dartmoor For All, and is designed to help and encourage those who are disabled, less mobile or have young children, to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside in the Dartmoor area. This information will help you to make the right choices for your day out. Nearly half of Dartmoor is registered common land. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, a right of access was created for persons on foot or horseback. This right extends to those using wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, although one should be aware that the natural terrain and gradients may curb access in practice. Common land and other areas of 'access land' are marked on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map, Outdoor Leisure 28.

January to March 2018
This issue's cover ‘A winter glow, after the blow, with sun setting in the snow’ was photographed and produced by Mo Bowman Happy New Year from the Editor Blue Planet II has been a remarkable series highlighting what extraordinary creatures and plants live in our oceans. Sadly, the programme has also shown what damage mankind is doing to his environment. There are many projects and groups attempting to do their bit to remedy this – the Great Nurdle Hunt in Scotland (nurdlehunt.co.uk) the worldwide Litter Project (litterproject.com) and the Anglo-French initiative encouraging us all to pick up one piece of rubbish each per day (1pieceofrubbish.com). Why not? If we all did so when we are out on our walks what a difference that could make. Here in East Devon there are regular beach cleans and our annual Otter Estuary Litter Pick. Every Spring the numerous bags of rubbish collected in just 2 hours from this small area show how careless and/or ignorant we are about our environment. So, if you would like to help keep the oceans clean for the next generation dig out your wellies and join us on 31st March. Jacqui Baldwin **************************************************** Annual Spring Litter-Pick: Saturday, 31st March 2018 at 10am As always, we run this event in co-operation with East Devon District Council and Clinton Devon Estates and the aim is to clear all litter from the Otter estuary below White Bridge by 12 noon. We assemble at the Lime Kiln Car Park in Budleigh Salterton at 10am for a briefing and free parking tickets will be distributed along with plastic bags and tongs.
