To reach Gutter Tor car park take the road to Sheepstor village from Burrator Resevoir dam. Drive through Sheepstor and stay on this road for approx half a mile until you drive over a cattle grid just by a left hand turn. Take this left turn, signposted to Nattor. Follow this road (beware some potholes!), cross another cattle grid and continue until you reach the parking area by a ford. The car park is not very large so please car share if possible.
