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.

Tickets
FEE: £15 per adult + £2 booking fee. Group size is limited so pre-booking is essential.
If you need a carer or support person to accompany you, one carer/support person can attend free of charge with your ticket. This might be someone who helps you get to and from the walk, supports you during the walk, accompanies you while using a Tramper, or simply gives you the extra support and confidence you need to take part.
Please book one ticket for yourself, then email us with the name of the person accompanying you. There is no need to purchase a separate ticket for them.
If this walk is fully booked, you can add yourselves to the waitlist by clicking the ‘Book Tickets’ button below. Or you could consider booking a Private Walk/Experience and sharing the cost with friends, colleagues, family. Click here for more information.
CANCELLATION: The event will go ahead come rain or shine. We do not offer refunds. If you cancel more than 4 weeks before the date of the walk or experience we will send you a credit note to use within 1 year minus a £5 admin fee and the £2 booking fee. We do not transfer tickets so in this instance you can use your credit note to rebook with us.
If you cancel within 4 weeks of the date of a walk or experience we recommend that you try to resell/pass on your ticket yourself. If you resell/pass on please let us know who will be attending in your place.
We have seen a significant number of cancellations over the past few years, and as a very small organisation we have suffered and therefore as a consequence we now have a strict no refund policy - we do hope you understand and will continue to support us.
You will receive a confirmation email after booking from ‘noreply@bookinghound.com’ - please check your spam/junk folder and email info@dartmoorsdaughter.com if not received.
