Overview

Walk across open moorland starting on the Two Moors Way up to Hookney Tor and down to the prehistoric site of Grimspound. Then to Challacombe, with swathes of bluebells on the fields and lovely hawthorn blossom. On the way back we’ll be passing remnants of the Golden Dagger tin mine, including a buddle! 

Tracks and paths with some ups and downs, couple of small stream crossings and maybe muddy in places after rain. Shortish steep bit back up to the car park. One short stretch of the walk near the Redwater stream is wet underfoot even in dry weather. Dogs on leads.

If Bennett’s Cross car park is full, there’s another car park soon after on the right (not easily seen from the road until you get close to it). If you park there, text or call walk leader to let me know you’re there.

Bring a drink for our coffee break.

Please book by texting the walk leader (no emails).

Option for refreshment at the Warren House Inn afterwards.
