Dartmoor Walking Festival Programme 22 - 30 August 2020 Dartmoor Walking Festival Programme 22 - 30 August 2020 dartmoorwalkingfestival.co.uk Welcome to the programme of the 2020 Dartmoor Walking Festival The first ever Dartmoor Walking Festival in 2016 was a great success and the very positive feedback really supported the idea of it becoming an annual event, which is absolutely fabulous. Consequently, Moorland Guides has run it every year since – and it seems that the Festival is here to stay! Obviously with the challenged we are facing in 2020 many Dartmoor events have had to be cancelled and we hope that we will be out of the Covid-19 situation by the time of the festival in August. However, in order to stay flexible and be able to adjust the programme if necessary we will only have an online festival programme, and here it is! The 2020 event will be held from Saturday 22nd August until Sunday 30th August inclusive, the last week of August. This year we are teaming up with the Devon Air Ambulance Trust charity again as the focus for most of our fundraising. All the events in the Festival this year will be by way of charitable donation for either the air ambulance of other charity nominated by the guides, such as the Military Services Charity or Donate to Dartmoor. In 2019 the festival raised almost £1500 for the Air Ambulance and also Donate to Dartmoor. As before we will be putting on several events each day during the nine-day Festival ranging from modest guided strolls and children’s rambles to full day walks and ambitious challenges! There really will be something for everyone including eight ‘accessible’ events for the less mobile in partnership with the Disabled Ramblers Association. This year we ask that you book for every event so the guide knows how many to expect. Details of the guide are shown in each walk entry, so please book directly with them.

  • SOUTH WEST & DEVON 2016 Self Guided Tour 8 Days/7 Nights
    SOUTH WEST & DEVON 2016 Self Guided Tour 8 days/7 nights This biking vacation in England will take you through the Devonshire Countryside and through the beautiful Dartmoor National Park. It is available as a level 3 self guided cycle tour. This tour offers a chance to see the beautiful Devonshire region of England; this tour incorporates a great blend of picturesque countryside and exhilarating rides offering a chance to take in some of the most unspoilt landscapes in the U.K. whilst riding along quiet country roads. This week long cycling tour takes in some of the quintessential villages this region is renowned for. The Dartmoor National Park is an area pretty much universally renowned as beautiful and essentially English heritage. Many picture postcard views will leave you wanting to return here time and time again. If you enjoy stunning views coupled with great cycling you will fit right in here in the Devon. TOUR ITINERARY DAY 1 Arrival Okehampton Arriving in Okehampton, Dartmoor is visible to the south. This national park is renowned for its beauty and breathtaking landscapes. Depending on the time available to you why not check out some of the many attractions in Okehampton. Only a few minutes’ walk away from the town centre is Okehampton Castle. Adjacent to the River Okement is the stone built castle thought to date from as early as 1172 although it was listed earlier in the Domesday Book. Also, worth a visit is the Museum of Dartmoor Life depicting how early settlers lived and worked this land. If you simply want to relax after your journey head to Simmons Park.

  • 2020 Paignton
    GUIDE 1 Welcome to the 2020 NOPS Kit Kat Tour Torbay is a large bay on Devon’s south coast. Overlooking its clear blue waters from their vantage points along the bay are three towns: Paignton, Torquay and Brixham. The bays ancient flood plain ends where it meets the steep hills of the South Hams. These hills act as suntrap, allowing the bay to luxuriate in its own warm microclimate. It is the bays golden sands and rare propensity for fine weather that has led to the bay and its seaside towns being named the English Riviera. Dartmoor National Park is a wild place with open moorlands and deep river valleys, a rich history and rare wildlife, making is a unique place and a great contrast to Torbay in terms of photographic subjects. The locations listed in the guide have been selected as popular areas to photograph. I have tried to be accurate with the postcodes but as many locations are rural, they are an approximation. They are not intended as an itinerary but as a starting point for a trigger-happy weekend. All the locations are within an hour or so drive from the hotel. Some locations are run by the National Trust or English Heritage. It would be worth being members or going with a member so that the weekend can be enjoyed to the full. Prices listed are correct at time of publication, concession prices are in brackets. Please take care and be respectful of the landscape around you. If you intend climbing or doing any other dangerous activities, please go in pairs (at least).

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.

The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.
