Cookshayes Guest House

The moors offers the visitor a wide range of walking activities. There are numerous short walks starting from parking just off-road, leading to beauty spots, great views and the many Tors. Information on guided walks is available on request. Finally there are an infinite combinations of walks that can be taken using the Ordnance Survey maps or the many books detailing walks in the area. The walks can take you around beautiful reservoirs, to waterfalls and over the wild and fabulous open areas of the moors.

As an extension to walking Dartmoor offers a novel and intriguing activity, that of Letterboxing. Letterboxes are hidden all over the moors and the fun is in finding them. There is a great deal of information available except their exact location. Once you find them you use the stamp that is located in the letterbox and stamp your map or Letterbox Record as proof.
