Overview

Starting from Postbridge going north, this is a typical North Dartmoor moor walk, on  very challenging ground. Expect tussocks, bogs, streams, and numerous steep climbs, with great views on a good day. We will be visiting Hartland Tor, beehive hut, Sittaford Tor, Quintin Man, Whitehouse Hill, Hangingstone Hill (third highest point on Dartmoor), Grey Wethers, and Hartland Tor.
