Overview

Walk Sourton Tors, then South Down, Meldon Woods, Meldon Viaduct and the Granite Way.

Moorland and woodland tracks and paths and old railway trackbed. A couple of ups, but none too difficult. Probably  an odd muddy bit after all this rain!

Stop for mid-morning coffee half way. Dogs welcome.
