Ponies have lived on Dartmoor for thousands of years and the way they eat, trample and – yes, importantly – poo affects what grows here. At Bellever a herd of Dartmoor Ponies is busy ‘conservation grazing’; we will explore the results of their hard work and see if we can spot them. Climbing up to the top of Bellever Tor will give us the best chance of seeing these beautiful ponies and some fantastic views.
Distance : 4 Miles
Children: Suitable for 7 years and over

Difficulty: Easy. We stay on paths, though these are uneven and muddy in places. Bellever Tor is a steady climb so a reasonable level of fitness is required but we take it at a gentle pace.
Dogs: Welcome on a lead
What to wear: Clothes for all weathers and well-treaded footwear
What to bring: Packed lunch. Binoculars if you have them.
Maximum number 15
