World Mental Health Day 2026

As time goes on we grow to understand how important mental health and wellbeing is.

We understand the positive impact being outside can have.

Be sure to respect others you come across when out and about exploring, you never know what may be going on inside.

A simple “hello” to someone passing can make their day.

Fix it Friday

It’s often the small touches that go un noticed, but finish the job nicely.

From sanding down hand holds, re turfing around fresh work to softening edges around furniture.

We may have had a sprinkling of rain, but there still remains a fire risk across the moor.

You may have noticed the change in risk level via our signs. Remember fires are NOT permitted on the moor.

Wise Wednesday

This week is all about our beefy friends that roam the moor.

We are now within the Autumn calving period and so brings added tension from livestock.

As with any new mum, the cows will do anything to protect their young from any threats.

Be sure to give cattle plenty of space, pass calming and with care. Herds will often set up their own crèche where one cow will look after multiple calf’s, which may result in that feeling of being watched as calf’s snooze amongst other he under growth.

Cattle related incidents on Dartmoor can be reported via the DNPA website.

Wise Wednesday

Do you know the difference between a footpath and a bridleway?

A public footpath allows foot traffic to follow, often these routes may have steps, stiles and boardwalks.

A public bridleway allows foot, cycle and horse riders to use. These routes may have gates, fords and bridges but the surface is much wider.

Check what route you plan to follow as part of your route planning.
