🌿✨ A Dartmoor Adventure to Remember ✨🌿

Set off from the doorstep, heading up over Yennadon down into the peaceful woods. Over the stile to Lowery Tor, then up to Leather Tor, where the breathtaking view over Burrator Reservoir took our breath away. 🌄💧

We followed the ancient leat to uncover the mysterious Old Lady in the Leat 📍N 50 31 445 W 004 00 923, before arriving at Black Tor Pool – perfect for a refreshing wild swim in its crystal-clear waters. 🏊‍♂️💦

Back along the leat to Leather Tor Farm, past the quirky Potato 🥔 Cave, over Leather Tor Bridge, down to Norsworthy Bridge, along the river and reservoir to the enchanting Pipe Waterfall, and finally back along the railway track, hearts full and spirits lifted. 🌊💚

Dartmoor never fails to amaze – every tor, pool, and hidden corner tells its own story. #@ #

🌄 Dartmoor Loop: Great Mis Tor, Walkhampton Valley & Clay Tor 🥾

Another cracking walk today, starting from the Old School House car park near Merrivale. We set off on a circular route that took in some of Dartmoor’s best features – dramatic tors, peaceful valleys, and wide open moorland.

We climbed up to Great Mis Tor to soak up those incredible views, then dropped into the quiet of Walkhampton Valley, following the stream as it wound through the landscape. A proper peaceful stretch, with birdsong and running water keeping us company.

From there, we looped around to Clay Tor for a break and a bite, before heading back towards Mis Tor from a different angle. On the way, we spotted a local farmer buzzing about on his Gator rounding up sheep – classic Dartmoor moment 🚜🐑.

✨ Highlights:
• Wild ponies and sheep all along the way
• Amazing views from the tors
• Dartmoor doing what Dartmoor does best – rugged, quiet, and full of character

🌿 Wistman’s Wood Walk – A Magical Dartmoor Adventure 🌿
📍 Princetown, Devon
🚶‍♀️ Distance: 7.6 km loop | 🕒 Duration: ~2 hours | 🥾 Difficulty: Moderate

Had an amazing time exploring the wild beauty of Wistman’s Wood – one of Dartmoor’s most mystical spots! ✨ Moss-covered boulders, ancient twisted oaks, wide open moorland, and the peaceful rush of the river – it’s a walk straight out of a fairytale.

Route Highlights:
• Parked opposite the Two Bridges Hotel (small car park available).
• Followed the stone wall past the cottage (the dogs were friendly and just saying hello!).
• Kept the river to our left and headed straight for the woods in the distance.
• The path splits just before the forest – left takes you through the magical woods, right goes around them.
• We wandered through the atmospheric woods, full of ancient mossy trees and giant granite boulders.
• After exiting the woods, we veered left toward a stony wall and the river (warning: boggy in winter!).
• Crossed near a tall wooden pole by a small dam and followed the old leat through grazing land – sheep, lambs, and cows all around. 🐑
• Continued to Beardown Farm, turned left, and followed the signposted path past a metal gate and down to an old bridge.
• Entered the woods again and followed the river back to the main road.
• A short stroll along the B3357 led us back to the car park.

🌧️ Top Tip: If it’s been raining recently, parts of the trail (especially near the river and wall crossing) can be very boggy – waterproof boots are a must!
🐶 Dog Note: Most of the walk is dog-friendly, but one stile near the end isn’t ideal for larger pups.

All in all, an unforgettable loop with sweeping moorland views, mystical woodlands, and some Dartmoor magic. Highly recommend this one to any nature lovers or adventure seekers! 🌲💚

📸 (Don’t forget your camera – it’s stunning out there!)
