Moor Otters Arts Trail is back!

Dartmoor National Park Authority’s Moor Otters Arts Trail goes live on Friday, May 28th, helping people explore, discover and learn more about Dartmoor and raise money for its ongoing conservation.

Eighty-one stunning sculptures of otters with cubs, designed and decorated by local and national artists – will be placed around the National Park and places near Dartmoor.

The trails are designed so people can safely explore Dartmoor on foot, bike, car or public transport and learn about the National Park as they go. There will be four trails on Dartmoor and one in Plymouth, the Mayflower Trail, which commemorates the historic journey of the Mayflower in 1620. Otters can also be spotted in towns and villages on the outskirts of the National Park too.

Before setting out on a trail, please check www.dartmoor.gov.uk/moorotters for the most up to date information.

People will have the opportunity to own a sculpture when the public trail ends by bidding for one through an online auction, which also goes live on May 28th. The Moor Otters Arts Trail aims to raise £60,000 for Donate for Dartmoor, the National Park’s fundraising scheme which helps look after the moor’s cultural heritage, habitats and wildlife.
