We're delighted to run regular walks for home educated children and their family on Dartmoor, all year round! As a home educating Mum herself, Director Hannah, is passionate about all kids have access to educational provision on the moors, whether they're in school or not. 

From foraging to history walks, from storytelling to science - we'll be walking the land and thinking about a whole range of subjects and topics! 
​
These walks are suitable for those aged 7 and over and will cost £7.50 per person attending. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome. 

Please see below details of our upcoming walks and a booking link!

Thursday 1st October: 1pm - 4pm: The Geology of Dartmoor

The aim of this walk is to have a look at the geology of Dartmoor and to learn how the moor was formed. We will begin by having a think about geological time and the main types of rock that make up Devon. We will then head out for a walk and see the bones of Dartmoor in place and learn how they came to be there.

Wednesday 15th October: 9.30am - 12.30pm: Explore a Rainforest!

Yes, we have rainforests!  But do we have one at Shaugh Bridge?  That’s what we aim to find out.  Some woodlands are called temperate rainforests; we will learn why and will look out for tell-tale signs.  We will use all our senses to detect these special features and explore this rare and rather magical habitat.

Thursday 19th November: 1.30 - 4pm: Exploring Water Filters on Dartmoor
​
We'll be meeting at Shipley Bridge car park to wander up to the nearby reservoir, thinking about the importance of water on the moors. 40% of the water that South West Water delivers starts its journey by falling as rain on Dartmoor so we'll be looking at how that impacts the landscape and natural filtration techniques.
