- Dog Notes:
The walk to River Avon Dam on Dartmoor, Devon, is suitable for fit and agile dogs that are used to challenging moorland conditions. However, dogs MUST be kept on leads or under very close and reliable control at all times due to the frequent presence of grazing livestock (sheep, cattle, ponies roam freely on Dartmoor) and sensitive wildlife (ground-nesting birds). Be aware of deep bogs and potentially hidden old mine workings. This is a strenuous walk for dogs. Ensure your dog is capable and carry plenty of water for them. This Devon moorland requires responsible dog ownership.
