Route Description for Bovey Tracey and Parke Estate Circular Walk

Walking the Bovey Tracey and Parke Estate Circular Trail is a laid back experience on the eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park, although it does have a variety of terrain and one long uphill climb near the midpoint of the walk. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes for this adventure. Additionally, this trail sees a high amount of foot traffic, particularly with dog walkers, so try to arrive early if your aim is to have a bit of peace and quiet in the serene forest setting.

Setting out from the town of Bovey Tracey, you will make your way to the northwest along the winding banks of the River Bovey and pass through a peaceful stretch of woodland terrain before climbing uphill to the southwest.
