Overview

A short morning walk of 4 miles, heading across open moorland to Vixen Tor, continuing above the western side of the Walkham valley before climbing Pew Tor. The route returns across the open expanse of Whitchurch common, passing Windy Post Cross.

We will enjoy the gorgeous views whilst having our coffee break on Pew Tor .
