A short walk around Ingra Tor and Leeden Tor

We had a bit of time on a Saturday afternoon and decided that a walk was needed, plus an ice cream. So I picked a spot where an ice cream van was guaranteed and we set off. Its been a while since I’ve been on Ingra Tor and I reversed my normal route in order to enjoy the view down from Leeden Tor. I was right to do this as the sun came out and gave a fab end to a good little walk. The best part about this area is you can easily extend the walk if you have time to take in Swell Tor, Kings Tor, Foggintor and many more. It was nice to be back out with the boys again.
