Overview

A circular clockwise walk along lanes, tracks and a bit of Dartmoor. NW to the edge of Skaigh, along the Tarka Trail to South Tawton. Lanes to South Zeal, Ramsley Hill, lanes and tracks to reach the stone row on the E side of Cosdon and back to Ford Farm via tracks.

The owners of Ford Farm are really hospitable and great fundraisers for Dartmoor Rescue. They will provide free parking, a toilet, and free refreshments (including cake) in a barn at the end of the walk. If you want to make a small donation to North Dartmoor Search and Rescue there will be a collecting box. This is not compulsory.
