Gorge Scrambling Dartmoor
Dartmoor is covered in wild rivers and gorges. we have put together some excellent routes for you to choose from.
Adventure Gorge - Okehampton
Located on the outskirts of Okehampton this gorge is our most popular choice and for good reason. We start off with a short abseil into the river and then make our way downstream, sliding, bouldering and we finish with a 4m jump.
Mission Gorge - Okehampton
Located in the depths of Dartmoor, this is one of the steepest gorges on the moor - its a 40 min hike in from the car park. If you like a challenge and want to experience the wilder parts of the moor then this is a good choice. More of an exploration/journey with only a few slides but well worth the effort.
Jungle Gorge - Chagford
Located in the middle of Dartmoor this trip is more about exploration than slides and jumps. A 25 min hike through the woods and crawl through the undergrowth to find this hidden gem of a gorge.
Dewerstone Gorge
Slide and scramble through the mystical Dewerstone woods. Easily accessible from Plymouth and Tavistock. This trip has lots of boulders to explore around, slides and crawl throughs.
