First big walk back in Devon for a while and wanted to go somewhere new and somewhere I knew! Sittaford Tor looked good plus a walk across to Kit Steps and then back along the East Dart via the waterfall. The weather didn’t really play ball for the first half of the walk, especially on Sittaford Tor when the cloud was down. Conditions underfoot weren’t much better and it’s a boggy trudge from Sittaford Tor to Kit Steps for sure, I turned south at Kit Steps and missed out Kit Rocks this time but I’ll be back to bag this outcrop at some point.
| Start – Postbridge |
| Route – Stannon Farm – Stannon Tor – White Ridge Tor – Grey Wethers – Sittaford Tor – Sittaford Stone Circle – Statts House – Kit Steps – Broada Stones – Sandy Hole Pass – East Dart Waterfall – Broad Down – Postbridge Clapper Bridge |
| Distance – 9 miles Start time – 11am Time taken – 4 1/2 hrs Highest Point – Sittaford Tor 537m |
| Weather – Cloudy and then low cloud around Grey Wethers and Sittaford Tor, sun was out on the return from Kit Rocks |

Having seen very few people all day, there was a crowd at Postbridge Clapper!! A fab walk though if a little boggy in spots









































































































My wife and I followed this route last Saturday 23rd July 2016. A good mix of paths and moorland and an interesting route down the East Dart river via the waterfall.

Glad you enjoyed the walk and thanks for the feedback. I’m a huge fan of the East Dart Waterfall, one of my favourite spots on the moor, I have to say the area around Statts House can be boggy and obviously around Kit Rocks is the Broad Marsh which isn’t to be messed with!!
