Langaford Farm Trust run a number of public events along with a substantial number of private events, our public events can be seen below. If you have an idea for an event please contact info@langafordtrust.org to discuss.
Access issues at Langaford Farm: the route is relatively flat, but the ground uneven and may be boggy in places – please wear wellies or sturdy walking boots.
Langaford Farm Trust welcomes all visitors and our aim is to make our site accessible, improving our facilities as and when we can, however, as the farm is situated on Dartmoor and features wet land habitats with sloping fields and uneven surfaces, this is a work in progress. The staff at Langaford Farm Trust are willing to assist if we can. If you have concerns about your visit please telephone 01647 432 889 to discuss your requirements.

Join us for a guided walk with butterfly experts through the lush damp meadows of Langaford Farm where we hope to see two of Langaford’s special species; the Marsh Fritillary and the Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk-moth. We will take a circular route learning about these species and their habitat requirements along the way, but of course we hope to see lots more wildlife too.
There will also be the chance to discover Langaford’s diverse variety of moths, attracted to light the night before.

Saturday 11 October 2025
Mosses, Ferns and Lichens a guided walk with Geri Skeens
10am – 1pm, if you would like to stay on afterwards do bring a packed lunch, Geri will remain to answer further questions.
Often small and easily overlooked, ‘lower plants’ were vital for the evolution of life on earth and continue to play essential roles. You will learn about their importance in our habitats, develop your skills identifying them, and focus in on their exquisite forms. And yes, lichens aren’t actually plants at all but one of nature’s most fascinating symbioses.
We will be outdoors for the whole session, slowly walking about two miles. Please come prepared for all weathers and be aware that the ground is uneven and slippery in places.
The walk is led by Geri Skeens, a nature guide with an infectious enthusiasm for natural history in all its shapes and forms.
Light refreshments (tea, coffee & biscuits), toilets, and handwashing facilities will be available at the barn.
Due to the sensitive wildlife on the farm, sorry no dogs please (with the exception of assistance dogs).
