Water Cleave Tor

This tor is a tricky one to find and depending on which way you come it can be pretty arduous. This one obviously sits in Water Cleave on the western side of Lustleigh Cleave. I reckon the easiest, way in and out is from the south, from Water, as the path heads into the woodland past the barn (marked on the OS maps) and starts to drop more steeply and turns east, you then head in left through some rough boggy ground, crossing fallen trees. Look for a narrow feint path which heads towards the fenceline which drops down from above you. Then drop down to the grid point, in total it is 400/500 metres ish of off path walking. The other option is to come uphill, off path, in a south easterly direction from Horsham Steps. Once here this is a pretty big outcrop which is wide spread, there are parts spread out as far as 100 metres but the main bulk is at the grid reference. There is a slight view (due to a fallen tree) across to Raven’s Tor on the other side of the valley, this is found below the main outcrop, towards Horsham Steps. No firing ranges near here.
