Myths and truths in the Down Tor region

A typical Dartmoor walk with great views and interesting historical elements. Mostly straightforward walking with moderate ups and downs, although there is one slightly tricky downhill scramble.

Walk over to join the Devonport Leat for a short while before passing the ruins of Leather Tor farm. Then we continue on tracks towards Norsworthy Bridge before heading up besides Down Tor and over to Combeshead Tor via Cuckoo Rock.

Then on to the distinctive stone row before eventually rejoining the leat. We follow the leat before striking off to visit Crazywell Pool. After this we continue to follow the leat as it tumbles down the hill towards the river Meavy. And back to the carpark.

Please text leader to book on walk.
