Two Bridges Cream Tea Walks
The Dartmoor Outdoor Festival includes two excellent guided walks from the Two Bridges Hotel, each with an option to finish your walk with a well-earned Two Bridges Cream Tea. Places are limited, and should be booked online,
West Dart Head Adventure - Sunday 31st August
This will be a strenuous walk over some difficult terrain. It will include boggy and wet ground and some river crossings. From Two Bridges Hotel you will travel north, following a ridge of tors - Crockern, Littaford, Longaford, Higher White and Lower White, Braddon Rocks and on to Broaden Rocks from where you will descend to the the waterfalls on the East Dart River. From here walking will become more challenging towards West Dart River Head. You will then head south to Summer Hill, picking up Cowsic Head before heading for Beardown Man standing stone and Devil’s Tor. Continuing south you will visit Ledford Tor and Beardown Tors before descending to pick up a track by a leat which will take us through Beardown Farm, then along the Cowsic River back to Two Bridges.

Rainforest Walk to Wistman's Wood - Monday 1st September
One of Dartmoor’s most precious habitats is temperate rainforest. This walk will take you around the perimeter of one of these special oakwoods - so special in fact that you will admire it from the edge rather than risk damaging it by entering. You will learn about this habitat and the unusual plants and animals that make their home here. The path is stony, irregular and muddy in places so you will need sturdy walking footwear - and waterproofs too, just in case!
