About

We’ve spent more than 20 years wandering Dartmoor, discovering hidden routes and great local places so you don’t have to. Every walk is personally tested and paired with practical information, GPS guidance, nearby food and drink, and trusted recommendations to help you make the most of your day outdoors.

Families

Built for real family adventures. Every route includes practical details like terrain, buggy suitability, balance bike access, swimming spots and nearby places to eat and drink, helping you choose the right day out with confidence.

Navigation

Every walk includes GPS guidance, What3Words locations, downloadable PDFs and clear route instructions, making it easy to explore, even when the Dartmoor signal disappears.

Curated

Every walk, recommendation and day pairing has been personally explored, tested and refined by us. No crowdsourced pins or endless searching, just trusted experiences we'd happily recommend to our own family.

Stories

Every walk has something to discover. From ancient stone circles and hidden rivers to local legends and forgotten landmarks, you'll come home with more than just muddy boots.

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.

Jenny. S

Mum of two.
