Overview

Walking through the Prince Hall estate we enter an open, rather desolate stretch of moor eventually passing through the two hamlets of Sherberton and Hexworthy. We'll cross the bridge at the latter and make for the bridge at Dartmeet. Retracing our steps we make our back to the moor and head west crossing the Swinnacombe and back to Prince Hall.
