As mentioned before this is one of the best places to visit on Dartmoor. Again starting from Postbridge this time we took the west side of the East Dart first and headed over Broad Down. The views were hampered by the haze in fact at times good photos were difficult to get. The area above the waterfall on Winney’s Down is a tough place to walk with plenty of tussocks, still it’s a fantastic place to be.
