Dartmoor Walks & Experiences

Step Straight onto Dartmoor from Gidleigh Park

Gidleigh Park sits on the very edge of Dartmoor National Park near Chagford, Devon. Our grounds flow directly into riverside paths, ancient woodland and open moorland – the perfect base for walks of every length and difficulty. Whether you want a gentle riverside stroll or a challenging tor ascent, every route begins and ends at our door.

Our Favourite Dartmoor Walks

Choose from our curated selection: the gentle Teign Valley riverside path (30 mins), the climb to Kes Tor (2 hrs), or the full-day loop via Chagford village and the moor. Maps, packed lunches and walking notes are available from reception.

Why Walk from Gidleigh Park

Return each day to roaring log fires, exceptional dining and luxurious rooms after exploring the wild beauty of Dartmoor. Combine your walks with a fine-dining evening or a restorative night’s stay – the perfect blend of adventure and comfort in Devon.
