Overview

We shall follow the Two Moors Way to Newbridge where we will part company to follow The Dart to Spitchwick, from where we will climb gently to Leusdon to have a coffee break overlooking the Webburn Valley before setting off to Ponsworthy, and another gentle climb to reach Bel Tor Corner. Now, back on the Two Moors Way we will follow Dr Blackall’s Drive to reach Newbridge where we will retrace our steps back to Holne.
