Challacombe Down sits between Birch Tor and Blacka Tor in central Dartmoor, to the east of Postbridge. Its a nice little hill that gives great views to the west over Soussons Down to Bellever Tor. North is Birch Tor and to the east is the historic Grimspound and Hameldown Tor. A wall bisects its summit and acts as the top of the hill, meaning in a strong wind a spot to hide is available. There are a couple of outcrops on the southern side of the wall to provide some granite for this hill, also the Challacombe triple stone row sits on its northern face providing its own piece of history. The easiest route is from the Birch Tor side, with an easy ascent to the wall. This hill is not in any of the military firing areas.
