The Spooner’s and West Dartmoor is a trail hunt centred on Tavistock on the western edge of Dartmoor, England. The Country extends from Postbridge in the east to Gulworthy in the west and from Okehampton in the north to Plymouth in the south. More than half the country consists of high moorland, which is generally trail hunted on Saturdays, and the rest in-land farms with high hedge banks separating small mainly grass fields and steep heavily wooded valleys. The rivers Dart, Walkham, Tavy, Lyd and West Okement all rise within the boundaries.

We welcome all ages whether you would like to follow on a horse or on foot and when not trail hunting we hold a variety of social events to to appeal to all.

If you would like to join in or know more about any of our events please email spoonersandwestdartmoor@gmail.com
