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.

  • On the M5 Heading South, Turn Off at Junction 31 and Follow the A30 West Signed to Okehampton
    Gardens Group 2018 Welcome to new and existing members of the Group. I’m writing this on one the wettest days this year/winter but plants are springing into life; daffodils, snowdrops, camellias and miscari are all out. I shall try to arrange roughly one visit per month between March and October. I am choosing a mixture of days, where I can, to try and be helpful, but I know that whatever I choose it won’t be convenient for everyone, similarly for venues. We go whatever the weather forecast, we’ve a pretty good record, even during wet years. I enclose details of the first four visits for this season. I hope there is something here to interest you. When it comes to directions, I give those from the Yellow Book or the appropriate website, the postcode and the map reference, so don’t blame me if you get lost! Everything in italics I’ve copied from the literature. I’ve managed again to arrange parking at The Toby Inn, Middlemoor for our first visit by coach. It is free and there is a loo if you slip in quietly. Parking is in the rear car park, off Rydon Lane not off the Sidmouth Road. The H bus and Sidmouth buses go out to Middlemoor. According to Google it’s a 12 min walk from Sowton and Digby Station. As usual I’ve got lots of ideas for visits and I’ve tried to bear in mind that many of you say you like having a house to see as well.
