Overview

From Postbridge car park (fee payable) we will walk to Soussons down, Bennetts Cross and on to the far side of Fernworthy Reservoir.

We will then climb uphill to Thornworthy and Kes Tors before heading back to Grey Wethers and back to Postbridge via Hartland Tor.

This is a strenuous walk with bogs, tussocks and stream crossings.  There is 1700 ft of ascent.
