Accessible Dartmoor

Dartmoor National Park Authority aims to make recreational facilities available to as many people as possible.  All visitors and residents of the National Park should be able to enjoy and experience Dartmoor, no matter what their level of ability.

The Authority has Information Centres at Haytor, Princetown and Postbridge with accessible toilets and facilities for disabled people.

Dartmoor has walks to suit everyone, no matter what your experience, level of fitness, or mobility.  The Authority along with Dartmoor for All have produced the Easy-Going Dartmoor publication which can help those who are less mobile or who have very young children, make the most of what Dartmoor National Park has to offer.

Why not try one of our audio walks, or the Princetown Ramble which has been designed for use with a Tramper?

In this section you will find information on:

• Easy Going Dartmoor walks

• Walking for people with limited mobility

• Health Walks

Across the public rights of way network gates and stiles are also being removed where practical or adapted to make access easier. Improving access for people with disabilities also benefits the able-bodied by making facilities easier to use.

Dartmoor For All
Dartmoor For All (DFA) has been formed to address the wide range of issues involving access in the Dartmoor area. All the members of the group are volunteers, many are disabled themselves, and all are keen to improve access throughout the area for those who are less mobile. The group is keen to hear from anyone who experiences a problem or has any suggestions about access in the Dartmoor area.
