What pet-friendly activities should we do in Dartmoor Forest?
The best pet-friendly activities in Dartmoor Forest revolve around its expansive natural landscape, offering plenty of opportunities for walks and exploring the outdoors.

Dartmoor is renowned for its open moorland, granite tors, and ancient woodlands, making it an excellent destination for dog owners. The Dartmoor Way, a 108-mile circular route, provides numerous access points for shorter walks suitable for pets. Areas like Haytor Vale offer well-maintained paths and stunning views, superb for a leisurely stroll with your dog.

These walks combine natural beauty with a glimpse into Dartmoor's past.

Couples looking for a relaxing day out with their pet will find the numerous dog-friendly pubs dotted across the park a welcome sight. Many establishments, particularly in villages like Widecombe-in-the-Moor or Chagford, welcome well-behaved dogs inside or in their beer gardens, allowing you to enjoy a meal or a drink after a long walk.

Families with pets will appreciate the open spaces where children and dogs can enjoy the fresh air together.
