Terrain:

Terrain: A beautifully diverse and undulating landscape. Paths are a mix of well-maintained gravel tracks, paved sections, mown grassy areas, and narrower, more natural earth paths through woodlands and along the river. Expect significant slopes in places, particularly when navigating between the gardens and the riverside. Paths can become muddy and prone to puddles, especially in wooded areas or after rain. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes or boots are highly recommended.


Accessibility:
While some of the main paths around Dartington Hall and key garden areas are relatively wide and firm, the overall estate has significant gradients, steps in places, and uneven natural paths, making full accessibility challenging for those with significant mobility issues or standard pushchairs.

Facilities:
Toilets, Cafe

Dog Notes:

The riverside path from Dartington to Totnes in Devon is very popular for dog walking. Dogs can often be off-lead on many sections, but ensure good control, especially near the River Dart (be cautious if your dog swims, as currents can vary), when passing through any areas with livestock (check signage on the Dartington Estate), and when encountering other walkers or cyclists on shared paths. Please clean up after your dog. Many pubs and cafes in both Dartington and Totnes are dog-friendly, making this Devon walk welcoming for dog owners.
