The Slipper Stones are are group of granite stones tumbling down the hill opposite Black Tor on the side of the West Okement Valley. The stones themselves are further down the hill than you think as there are lots of granite running down the hill. They offer some of the best views along that valley as well as across to Yes Tor and High Willhays. Far below runs the West Okement river and an approach from this direction and then heading up to Branscombe’s Loaf is best left to the Sherpa Tensings of this world!! Personally a route from Stenga Tor or Branscombe’s Loaf is the easiest direction to find this spot. The Slipper Stones sits on the edge of the Okehampton firing range and any walks to the east will walk into this area.
