This is a full-colour new edition of the original popular Cicerone guide to Dartmoor, an area described as the last great wilderness of England. The guide is an excellent introduction to the moor and the national park.
In order to make using this guide as easy as possible the walks have been grouped into four large areas of Dartmoor:
- The South Moor
- Widecombe Walks
- The North East Moor
- The North West Moor.
Most of the walks are circular and have been graded according to length (short, medium or long) and difficulty (easy, moderate and hard). The guide contains full-colour maps and photographs to the 45 routes.
