Group Travel on Dartmoor
Why Dartmoor is great for group travel
Steeped in history, this beautiful National Park with its breath-taking scenery, fascinating archaeological sites, ancient herds of wild ponies and wealth of natural beauty offers visitors the perfect opportunity to enjoy challenging activities or a peaceful break to recharge batteries. Whether you love quiet wooded valleys, rushing rivers or the frankly incredible granite tors you will fall in love with Dartmoor.
Maybe you’re looking to plan a one-off celebratory mini break for your friends or family or perhaps a challenging location for your workmates on a team building mission, Dartmoor has many great reasons why it is ideal for group travel!
For some inspiration and ideas on what to do when you come to Dartmoor, we have a collection of Themed Itineraries such as ‘History & Heritage’, ‘Arts & Crafts’, ‘Family Fun’ … and more! You can see them HERE.

Devon is known for its rural roads and country lanes, but we have many A roads and dual carriageways criss-crossing the region making your trips to the many towns and villages a pleasure. Our Dartmoor Map highlights the smaller roads, and we have advice for coaches and motorhome drivers HERE
