Postbridge forestry car park, PL20 6TH. This is 100 metres from Postbridge National Park Visitor Centre car park and on the opposite side of the road. Turn off the B3212 from Princetown towards Bellever and it is immediately on your right or from Moretonhampstead on the left.

Dogs: Welcome on a lead
What to wear: Clothes for all weathers and well-treaded footwear
What to bring: Packed lunch. Binoculars if you have them.
Event description: Ponies have lived on Dartmoor for thousands of years and the way they eat, trample and – yes, importantly – poo affects what grows here. At Bellever a herd of Dartmoor Ponies is busy ‘conservation grazing’; we will explore the results of their hard work and see if we can spot them. Climbing up to the top of Bellever Tor will give us the best chance of seeing these beautiful ponies and some fantastic views.
