Walk with Dartmoor's Daughter through an ancient and ritual landscape on Dartmoor. The nine stone circles on North East Dartmoor form an approximate arc. Taking an archaeological as well as phenomenological approach, we will journey together - sometimes in silence and sometimes sharing our experiences - through this wild and beautiful landscape asking questions of the ancestors, stones, and land along the way.

LEVEL: MODERATE - approximately 14km on open and hilly moorland. A good level of fitness is required.
