Overview

Walk starts from Norsworthy Bridge at Burrator Reservoir and passes close to Crazywell Pool then heading to Older Bridge along the Devonport leat. We return via the Hingston Hill stone circle and stone row near Down Tor. There is a gradual climb to Older Bridge and some moorland walking, but the route mostly follows tracks and paths. We will stop for a coffee break.

Book by text to walk leader.
