Overview

The last time we walked from this location – close to the shortest day of 2024 - it lived up to its name. Our route is mainly on moorland footpaths with a little lane walking and has been reversed and adapted to usher in tropical weather!

We shall ascend, or pass by Pil Tor, Top Tor, Bonehill Rocks, Chinkwell Tor and Honeybag Tor. Then Natsworthy en route for Jay’s Grave and Houndtor from where we will head across Holwell Lawn to Bonehill Rocks – again.
