 HEADTORCH ESSENTIAL

Suitable for all levels of walkers, with or without NW training.

A mindful walk to embrace all that is nature. 

Why the “Beaver” Moon? This is the time of year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient food stores for the long winter ahead. During the fur trade in North America, it was also the season to trap beavers for their thick, winter-ready pelts. 

This 2-3 mile cliff top walk will serve as a time to embrace the wonderful sea and calm of the clifftops, whilst taking in the fabulous sunset and moonrise. 

Join us for this fabulous moonlight clifftop walk as the moon rises over the sea, and the sun sets over the Dodman.
