Terrill Posts

These aren’t posts, but crosses sitting on the side of Ter Hill on the old Monks Path between Tavistock and Buckfast. They sit around 100 yards apart and one can just be seen from the other. They offer a great view into the centre of Dartmoor, to the Beardown Tors and round to Fernworthy. One cross, the westerly one, is a replica of the original which sits in Princetown in the Moorland visitor centre. These crosses sit a little further up the hill from Mount Misery Cross.
