Freedom for all abilities

Dartmoor should be accessible for everyone to enjoy, regardless of whether you are a top athlete, a family with small children or have impaired mobility or less physical ability than you would like.

There are trails that can be enjoyed with children in pushchairs, by those who use a wheelchair or on a Tramper, which are available to rent at locations like South West Mobility, Devon Cycle Hire and National Trust at Parke in Bovey Tracey.

It’s always a good idea to check the information on individual location websites before setting off for your day out in case of any scheduled work or weather damage, but generally we can happily suggest that you take a trip to places like Fernworthy Reservoir, Burrator Reservoir, Bellever Forest.

Please call in to one of the three National Park Visitor Centres and talk to the very knowledgeable staff, who will also be able to give you some leaflets and more information. Organisations such as Disabled Ramblers run a series of guided rambles for the less mobile in Dartmoor National Park.

More information and a couple of useful articles can be found on the Visit Dartmoor website.

We highly recommend that you contact the accommodation provider direct to discuss your individual requirements before booking your rooms.
