Overview

Lanes, fields and woodland take us to Bowden Down, Ford on the Lyd, Langstone Manor, Burnville and Wastor. Onto the moor across West Blackdown to South and North Brentor. A few muddy fields to traverse, including a short but steep incline, rewarded with a panoramic view of Dartmoor, from Sourton Tor to Cox Tor (weather permitting!) and patchwork fields, from outside the iconic St Michael de Rupe church.
