Join Dartmoor’s Daughter and other Home Ed families for a short walk, swim, and picnic on the banks of beautiful Shilley Pool.

Bring your children on a fun and fascinating stroll through ancient and modern history. We will explore how people lived thousands of years ago as we walk through the ruins of Bronze Age settlements and ceremonial complexes including a stone circle, rows, and a standing stone. Then we will sit together in the ruins of their homes to make a replica clay pinch pot like our Neolithic ancestors may have done or a simple woven bracelet made from Dartmoor sheep wool.

This walking workshop is aimed at Dartmoor 365'ers attending the D365 Cream Tea at Two Bridges in the afternoon. Want a confidence boost to explore new places? Memories of how to use a map and compass faded? Join this practical and hands-on walking workshop to learn (or refresh your memory) how to use a map and compass, as well as an opportunity to discover other ways to feel your way through the landscape e.g.: natural navigation.

A fun and interesting way of connecting children to the beautiful Dartmoor landscape. Families will be invited to team up into ‘wolf packs’ so you can help each other to search and tick off a picture list of several different types of animals, plants, trees, and flowers as well as objects in the landscape. Plus there are rocks to climb, a granite tramline to follow, pond-filled quarry to explore, and several letterboxes/geocaching to find.

Journey back in time by walking part of the old South Zeal-Hangingstone Hill peat merchants and tinners track that skirts dangerous Raybarrow Pool, visiting the Bronze Age Whitmoor stone circle with its magnificent 360 degree views, and impressive reconstructed triple stone row known as the Graveyard or Cemetery. Climbing up Cosdon Beacon for stunning views, we end our day with a refreshing swim at the beautiful Shilley Pool.
