Overview

We walk up hill to the Coffin Stone and Sharp tor, then on to Dr Blackall's Drive for a coffee stop with magnificent views across the Dart valley and Venford reservoir. Then down to the Dart and up to Leusdon church for lunch. Down to Ponsworthy, along the 2 Moors Way, Shallowford, Sherwell and Yar Tor

A strenuous walk with some steep climbs and descents, mainly on moorland tracks and roads, with a few boggy areas and rough ground. 3 stiles.

Note that the toilets at Dartmeet car park are now closed.
