Overview

Start your walk with a bacon butty at Lydford Nicholl's Hall before setting off out to Sourton Tor via the West Devon Way.  After lunch we come back visiting Arms Tor and Bra Tor re-entering Lydford via High Down, 10.5 miles. A shorter, 6.5 mile walk, leaves at Lake to return via Great Nodden and High Down.  Lanes and old tracks out until some climbs to tors on the way back often on moorland paths. One stream crossing on the longer walk.
