Fingle Bridge, Clifford Bridge and the Drewe Arms

Firstly a bit of an apology, I’ve been moving house over the past 3 weeks, which has meant very little activity on the site recently, plus I haven’t read the normal websites that I would, so have plenty to catch up on there. I have internet up and running now and most of the boxes…

Castle Drogo, Drewsteignton and Fingle Bridge

Four walks in a row on Dartmoor now, although the next walk will be back to the coast. This is a lovely area, with some nice quiet lanes, villages and a gorgeous woodland valley with a river running along the bottom. The river in question is the Teign as it winds on its way east…

Whiddon Woods, River Teign and Cranbrook Castle

This was a walk to pick up some tors in the north eastern side of Dartmoor alongside being walk 6 of my second Dartmoor 365 quest and therefore bagging squares D15 and E17. I have been meaning to come back to Whiddon Wood now for a while. Lots of woodland here, and at this time…

The 3 squares of Blackaller Quarry, Drewsteignton and Greystone are full Dartmoor 365 squares with Crockenwell and Cheriton Bishop being a couple of bonus squares. I also managed to…

Whiddon Woods and the Teign Valley

This was a walk to pick up some tors in the north eastern side of Dartmoor. I have been meaning to come here now for around 6 months but with the lockdown I haven’t ventured too far from home. This was as far as I have been now and a return to some sort of…

Castle Drogo and Sharp Tor

The hills and tors around Castle Drogo

Like the last walk this one was a bit of a tidy up exercise to complete my Dartmoor tors list, after this I’ll have 5 left.. There were two walks, and a couple of darts to grab two more, which made 7 for the day. The five I have left will all be single walks…
