I’d been wanting to do this walk for a while so despite the dreary start to the weather we set off from Two Bridges heading for Crocken Tor and along the ridge to Longaford Tor before dropping to the West Dart Weir and back along the Devonport Leat. its a fantastic walk not too difficult but long enough to feel that you have had a decent stroll, deserving of a pint in the Two Bridges Hotel!!

Zooming in a bit on the Powdermills
A bit of lunch on Littaford Tor looking down along the West Dart Valley
Really brightened up now, looking across to Beardown Tor, with the West Dart and the weir below
