These beautiful woods with stunning walks have paths for all, just a few minutes from Okehampton.

You can walk the Tarka Trail and follow the River Okement, or just wind your way through the woodland.

Sunlight shining through woodland scenery

Walk Northcombe's circular forest road loop, starting from the parking area. The wide tracks with gentle gradients make for easy going walks or rides, with amazing views and lots to explore.

Reservoir surrounded by forest

Fernworthy's position at the edge of Fernworthy Reservoir provides extensive opportunities for walking, nature spotting, and enjoying the peace of Dartmoor.

See if you can find one of the many prehistoric sites in the area including the Fernworthy Cairn Circle and Fernworthy Assycombe Stone Row.
