Embark on the Okehampton & Belstone Tor loop, a moderate hiking route that guides you through the varied landscapes of Dartmoor National Park. This trail spans 8.9 miles (14.3 km) and involves an elevation gain of 1209 feet (368 metres), typically taking about 4 hours and 9 minutes to complete. You will wander through charming woodlands alongside the East Okement River, where ancient oak trees and waterfalls create a serene atmosphere. As you ascend, the scenery shifts to rugged open moorland, leading you towards the prominent Belstone Tor. From its summit, you can enjoy panoramic 360-degree views that stretch across Dartmoor and, on clear days, even reach the North Devon coast.
Before you set out, ensure you have a good level of fitness suitable for a moderate hike. Be prepared for potentially boggy sections, especially after rain, and some rocky ascents on the moorland. A crucial planning step is to check the firing times for the Okehampton Firing Range, as parts of this route fall within its boundaries. Always confirm access before your visit to avoid any disruptions. Starting earlier in the day is advisable to allow ample time to complete the loop comfortably.
This route offers a unique blend of Dartmoor's natural beauty and historical intrigue. As you hike, keep an eye out for ancient landmarks such as Fitz's Well Cross and the evocative ruins of Watchet Hill Cottage, which add layers of history to your journey. The transition from lush river valleys to exposed moorland highlights the diverse ecosystems of the national park. It is a fantastic way to experience the wild character of Dartmoor, providing both physical challenge and rich cultural insights.
