Footpaths and Access

Footpaths and access

The majority of the farmland on the Dartington Hall estate is not accessible to the public.

However, there are a number of permissive paths that run through the estate. There are also five public footpaths which pass over the estate.

Please note that at periods throughout the year these paths may be closed at short notice.

Groups of walkers wishing to walk on the Dartington Hall estate should complete an application form. Please click here for a copy of the form.

Permissive paths

More information about the permissive paths on the estate will appear here soon.

When using any of the paths on the Dartington Hall estate, we ask walkers to follow the Countryside Code. The government’s website on the new Countryside Code can be accessed here.

Please keep dogs on a lead at all times.

Public footpaths

More information about the public footpaths can be found in the Dartington Parish Council Footpath Guide, and the numbers in brackets refer to the reference number which appears in this guide.
