Overview

Starting at Sourton church car park we’ll head uphill over the old ice works to circle around Sourton Tors and walk to the Rattlebrook Railway. We follow the track in the direction of Great Nodden before heading downhill to join the Dartmoor Way across fields back to Sourton.  Lovely views in good weather. 

Mostly along tracks. Fields muddy in places. Boggy area in one field. Several stiles including ladder stiles and any dogs would have to be carried over them.

We’ll stop for a coffee break. Please book by text to walk leader.
