About
We’ve spent 20 years wandering Dartmoor, testing those slightly more hidden routes so you don’t have to. Need things to do on Dartmoor with the kids? Every walk is handpicked, packed with tips, and designed to be simple to follow. No vague instructions, no aimless wandering, just solid routes with all the info you need to make the most of your time outdoors.
Families
Outdoorsy parents, we see you. We’ve got 35 carefully selected routes, all stress-free and family-friendly. Buggy-accessible paths? Kid-friendly distances? Stops for snacks? We’ve thought of it all, so you don’t have to.
Distance
175km of well-planned routes, no map skills required. Step-by-step directions and What3Words start points mean you’ll always know where you’re going. No guesswork, no getting lost, no “are we nearly there yet?” from the back.
Curated
No crowdsourced chaos here. Every walk is personally tested, fine-tuned, and built for the best experience, whether you’re after a 'Doddle' a 'Trek' or a 'Challenge'. We don’t just throw pins on a map; we build walks that actually work.
Stories
Dartmoor is full of stories, and we’re here to share them. Ancient stone circles, secret viewpoints, local legends, you won’t just be walking, you’ll be discovering. Every route has a bit of magic waiting to be found.

Testimonials
Honestly brilliant. It's exactly what we've been missing. I could never just find good outdoor routes that have been fully thought about for kids - which weren't REALLY busy! I can't wait to try out more walks!
Sophie. A
Mum of three.
I need things to do which are suitable for my 10 year old and my two year old! And Dartmoor Partner gives me those activities! We pack a bag and off we go, knowing the route has been tested for people just like us already.
Laurie. W
Dad of two.
Seeing a mixture of routes that are kid friendly and cover different types of terrain is extremely useful. I've just moved here and didn't know where to go with my two little ones. This nails it.
