From 2012 to 2025 the MUD walking group visited a large number of locations on Dartmoor, Devon and Cornwall. Walks ranged from 5 to 12 miles and much research was carried out to provide an interesting historical background to each walk. This webpage has links to many condensed articles from these walks.
