At last a bit of sunny, warm weather. We’d eaten down the road at the Burrator Inn and a quick little walk was in order. This is a highly recommended stroll for those with little experience of Dartmoor as it is all within 500 metres of the road and the car. Also it gives you some fantastic views for very little effort, plus it is always quieter than Burrator Reservoir which is packed on days like these. This was an enjoyable walk, with a decent scramble up Leather Tor and a stop off at the rarely visited Lowery Tor. Lets hope this is the start of some sunny weather.

Just leaving Sharpitor with Leather Tor behind and I think that’s a forced smile!

I love the granite tors of the Southwest, some great images here. So much stuff to do in Dartmoor. Need a holiday down there 🙂

Its a great spot and I’m lucky to live down here which makes it easy to get out. The northern moor is more rugged in my opinion, but its tough walking with all the tussocks and boggy areas!!
