Venford Reservoir

Highlight • Natural

Hidden amongst the sprawling moorland of Dartmoor National Park, this is a lovely spot to explore. The reservoir is surrounded by beautiful woodland, moors and winding rivers where you can swim.

There's also varied wildlife as well as sheep and wild ponies. You can park at the reservoir, but spaces are hard to come by in the summer.

Dartmeet and Clapper Bridge

Highlight • Natural Monument

Dartmeet is named as the meeting point of the two major tributaries of the Dart, the East Dart and West Dart rivers. This has been a crossing point for hundreds of years with the remains of an old clapper bridge near the current road bridge (built in 1792). It's a nice place to stop for a break before tackling the road climbs in either direction.

Dr Blackall's Drive

Highlight • Trail

Dr Blackall came from an Exeter family and was Sheriff of Exeter in the 1860s. He also owned Spitchwick Manor and loved Dartmoor and its dramatic scenery.

He loved it so much, he built a driveway in his estate so that he could enjoy it from the comfort of his carriage. Some say it was for the benefit of his wife who was unwell and unable to walk.

The drive goes between Newbridge Hill in the east, contours round Aish Tor and up to Mel Tor. It takes in some spectacular scenery of the Dart Gorge.

There is even talk that on dark nights, a ghostly man in a a top hat has been spotted nearby.

Sharrah Pool

Highlight • Natural Monument

One of Dartmoor's very best swimming spots, Sharrah Pool is an utter delight. It's accessed by beautiful riverside trails that are nice and shaded on warm days. With its cascades, calm areas and helpful rocky steps, its an idyllic place for a dip.
