Daily Walks with Tabbin

Tabbin will lead a morning walk for anyone who would like to join her. These walks will give you the chance to tune into nature first thing in the morning, to meditate and to practice gratitude. 

Dartmoor is a spectacular place, designated one of England's six National Parks. All across Dartmoor you will see granite boulders and granite outcrops (known as 'tors') on top of hills. The rocks on the ground are often used for building walls, as is the case at the now-deserted Teign Head Farm, where this photo was taken.  You will see wild ponies, as well as sheep and cattle all across the moor.  

Tabbin was brought up on Dartmoor and has a deep love of this wild and beautiful place.
