Overview

Beautiful scenery in heart of Dartmoor, we start at Lower Cherrybrook Bridge, walk across to Laughter Tor, visiting the beautiful St. Raphael's Church, Hexworthy Bridge and complete circuit by Dartmoor Training Centre. 

Couple of small stony streams, maybe bit wet and boggy in places. We will stop for coffee and lunch, bring something to sit on.
