TEIGN GORGE & FINGLE WOODS

Fingle Woods lies along 10km (6.2 miles) of Dartmoor’s craggy Teign Valley, tucked into the northern fringes of Dartmoor. 

Wander through 45km (28 miles) of trails, take in spectacular views and discover its history. Explore the sun-dappled glades, spot wildlife and uncover intricate woodland archaeology. See if you can spot the iridescent blue of the kingfisher as it darts along the bank of the river Fingle, which gurgles and sparkles on its route through the woods. Listen for the rap of a woodpecker and the splash of an otter. Look for the ever-changing wildflowers, from carpets of ramsons and wood anemone to wild daffodils and bluebells, and discover the magic found at Fingle.

The site is made up of eight different woods, which the Woodland Trust jointly own and manage with the National Trust in the first venture of its kind. In one of the largest woodland restoration projects ever undertaken.
