Our guided walks and activities for adults, children, and teams include learning how to dowse days; painting & sketching afternoons; wild foods & foraging journeys; mindfulness meanders; navigation training days; tracking games; astronomy evenings, and nature t

Her grandmother 'Granny Val' introduced her first husband Eric Hemery to Dartmoor in the 1950s where he set up and offered guided walks and pony treks then wrote a series of well regarded books including ‘High Dartmoor’ described as 'the bible for anyone who has the spirit of Dartmoor'. Emma is a qualified Hill & Moorland Leader and has the accompanying Outdoor First Aid certificate. Her previous 20 years corporate career in Europe, America and Asia, ensures a professionalism in managing and facilitating different client groups and cultures as well as experience in organising events, leading teams, and presentation skills. We look forward to having you join us soon!

Not all vets carry the anti-venom so make sure you know if your vet does, or the closest to you.

🐍‼️As the warmer months arrive, we are more likely to spot Britain’s only venomous snake - the adder. While bites in dogs are thankfully rare, cases tend to peak between June and August. ☀️🐍

Adders are a protected species and these beautiful creatures are an important part
of our ecosystem. They are not aggressive and only bite in self defence - including
when stepped on or surprised by a curious dog!

By staying alert and respecting their space, we can help protect both our dogs and
our native wildlife. Adders are most commonly found in drier, open habitats like:

🌳 Woodland edges
🌱 Grassy heaths and moorland
🏖 Sandy coastal areas and rocky paths

Keeping dogs under close control or on a lead, and sticking to clear paths, can help to avoid encounters.

🌿 A Conversation with Dartmoor’s Daughter: Emma Cunis on Life as a Dartmoor Guide 🌿

Many of you already know Emma, but do you know how her journey from the corporate world to leading nature-connection walks on Dartmoor unfolded?

In this transcript from a 2023 Gorse & the Wild podcast, Emma shares how illness, intuition, and a deep love for Dartmoor inspired her to invite people into deeper connection, wellbeing, and storytelling on one of England’s most sacred landscapes.

💬 “I could either be an ill person staying in that corporate world… or I could change my life.”

🌿 Coming up: Emma is leading a Gentle Woodland Walk specially created for people with ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, or chronic pain — a quiet, nurturing way to experience Dartmoor at a slower pace.
