Enjoy a gentle stroll through woodland and moorland at beautiful Bellever in the heart of Dartmoor. There will be several stops along the way to rest; admire views up to the majestic tors; learn about the lives of Bronze Age and early Medieval people in this area; hear tales of pixies and ancient tracks; and explore the variety of flora and fauna supported by the grazing patterns of the semi-wild Dartmoor Heritage Ponies.
This experience is specifically designed for people living with chronic health conditions, such as ME/CFS, Long Covid, Fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, and/or chronic pain. Please get in touch if you have questions or require further information.
