Buzzards Woodland

Buzzards Woodland Walk is a 4-mile trek through the tranquil Dart Valley that’ll test your legs and reward your soul. Under the care of the National Trust, it’s a wildlife hotspot—think otters doing otter things, sleepy dormice, and bats. Come spring, the woods explode in a sea of bluebells so bright it’s like nature threw a party. Expect steep climbs, muddy bits, and old-school stiles—so leave the flip-flops at home. Waymarkers will keep you on track (unless you're the type who enjoys getting lost). Two scenic viewpoints near the car park serve up views worth pausing for. It’s free, open all year, and dog-friendly—just leash up around livestock. Whether you’re a hardcore hiker or just here to breathe forest air and feel something, this walk hits the sweet spot.
