THE DARTMOOR WAY | Wild Camping Dartmoor | Hiking Trails UK

I had been so excited to do some Dartmoor wild camping for so long, and experience hiking along The Dartmoor Way, but after hearing about the Dartmoor wild camping ban I had so many questions! I would be hiking the trail with some members of my Officially Smashed It hiking club, so as I wasn’t alone I wanted to make sure our trip would be as stress free as possible.

Is it legal to wild camp on Dartmoor? I checked out the official website at
www.dartmoor.gov.uk to check and found the map of the permissive wild camping areas we could use along the trail.

How long is The Dartmoor Way? The original route is 108 miles, however we were doing The High Moor link circular which crosses the moors, so our trail would be 90 miles long. We planned to start and finish the loop in Oakehampton, as it had the best public transport links for us all.

Dartmoor National Park is simply stunning! Join us on our adventure as we discover this magical hiking trail and enjoy the thrills and spills of wild camping UK.
