South Zeal to Belstone Nine Maidens Stone Circle (for sunrise) return
This special Summer Solstice Eve Night Walk on northeast Dartmoor with Paul & Kate will give us an opportunity to experience the magic of the Moor through the shortest night of the year, arriving at the Belstone Nine Maidens stone circle in time for Summer Solstice sunrise
As with all our Self~Nature Connection walks, we'll include some silent, mindful walking (and stopping) to enjoy and imbibe in the quiet and sounds of the night, connecting with Nature in its nocturnal aspect. The walk will also include a permitted fire and hot drinks and snacks en route.
