Overview

Hound Tor, Black Hill, Haytor,  Rippon Tor, Top, Bell, Chinkwell and Honeybag Tors, Natsworthy and Jay’s Grave. Some steep climbs to work off the last of the Christmas cake. Terrain is a mix of moorland tracks, paths and a small amount of lane walking. Expect to keep a decent pace throughout the walk due to the short winter days.
