- CANCELLED - Discover Animal Tracking - Tails, Trails & Tales (Easter Family Fun for National Parks Fortnight)

Apologies but unfortunately due to bad weather conditions this walk has been cancelled.

If you are a ticket holder please check your emails (and spam if you can’t see an email from us) for further details.

For thousands of years, our ancestors tracked animals and each other using the prints and signs left behind. Fun and educational, this introductory activity invites families to awaken their senses to track signs and symbols in the landscape.

Discover National Parks Fortnight, held each Spring, is an annual celebration of the UK’s National Parks. For more information click here And to find other Dartmoor events here
