Overview

We will head from the Burrator Arboretum car park through the plantation to Deancombe, Cuckoo Rock and Combshead Tor.  From there we will head across to the stone row and then on to Nun’s Cross where we will have tea/coffee break.  Suitably refreshed we head to Eylesbarrow mine workings and then cross to Hartor Tors and follow the stone rows past Giant’s Basin towards Drizzlecombe, past Ditsworthy Warren House, Eastern Tor, Gutter Tor, Sheepstor and back through the plantation to the car park.
