This ramble was the last of the eight accessible walks, of the Dartmoor Walking Festival 2021.

Location : Bovey Tracey

Starting Point : Car Park by the river

OS Grid Reference : SX781813

Distance : 3.3 Miles

Route Surface : Asphalt, Gravel.

Category : Level 1

This walk is a level walk apart from a steep slope down to the river, which was just an add on for our lunch stop.

The path through the park is Asphalt, while the rest of the route through the Parke NT estate is gravel. The path that takes you off the Railway Line, to the NT cafe has a short stoney section. This section upgrades the walk to a level 3, so users of power chairs and small scooters need to stay on the main path.

I had a problem with the GPS which I didn’t spot, until we were on the old railway line. The distance of 3.3 miles is correct distance for the whole route.
