The open moorland provides a breeding area for ground nesting birds, but if they get disturbed they can abandon their nests or young. Please be aware that they could be nesting anywhere on the open moorland and you must not disturb them from 1 March to 31 July. Make sure you know where the rare bird nesting areas are and plan your route to avoid them during their nesting season. It is used as guidance for the Ten Tors event so that participants do not inadvertently stray into sensitive bird habitats. Recommended crossing tracks are also shown. PDF maps can be viewed and downloaded from the DNPA website, along with GPX data for the areas and promoted crossings. Updated June 2025
