Overview

We will pass a bronze age settlement, a pair of double stone rows, a standing stone and stone circle. We will then walk  beside Hucken Tor and King Tor and alongside the massive quarries of Swelltor and Foggintor. We will stop for coffee and sit on the abandoned Corbels made for London Bridge but were discarded, enjoying the extensive views. On the way back we pass an ancient allotment garden. There are also some interesting settlements to see. Bring a drink and snack.
