Ramblers help to make access easier on Dartmoor

Walkers following the popular Two Moors Way between Newbridge and Holne on Dartmoor can now enjoy an easier walk thanks to a generous donation from a local walking group towards route improvements.

Moorland Ramblers provided a £200 donation to Dartmoor National Park Authority’s Donate for Dartmoor donation scheme to help fund the cost of converting worn out stiles with kissing gates.  The work was co-ordinated by the National Park Authority with assistance from local farmers and contractors.

Andrew Watson, Head of Recreation, Access & Estates said: “We would like to thank Moorland Ramblers for their contribution towards the cost of the new self-closing gates which will make access easier for walkers, whilst remaining stock proof for livestock. The National Park Authority looks after over 700km of public rights of way across Dartmoor and donations to support our work to improve access are always welcome”.
