Shaptor Woods, Bovey Tracey, Dartmoor National Park

Shaptor Wood is a chaotic, boulder strewn wood cloaking a valley wall as it tapers down towards Bovey Tracey on the eastern border of Dartmoor National Park. In the upper section of the wood is Shaptor Rock with its massive views across the National Park and South Devon. Shaptor Down is the oak covered section around Shaptor Rock.

We've positioned Shaptor Wood on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location. It's not the easiest place to get to. Paths runs through the wood. These are clearly marked on the Ordnance Survey Explorer OL28 'Dartmoor' map.

See our listing for Shaptor Rock for car parking and walking directions. We'd also recommend following the Bearacleave Wood, Shaptor Wood and Shaptor Rock Circular Walk.
