Belstone Tor, Steeperton Tor and back over Cosdon Hill

Walk 2 of Round 2 of the Dartmoor 365 squares and a walk over some of the high spots of the north moor which includes B10, C10, D9, D10, D11, E9 and E10 squares. Setting out from Belstone with the plan to get up to Steeperton Tor and then back possibly over Cosdon Hill. The…

Kennon Hill, Cosdon Hill and a closed pub at Wonson

A walk of two halves this one, the first on Dartmoor proper, tors, hills and boggy ground (which is prevalent in this area). The second half is around the lanes of north eastern Dartmoor, picking off the Dartmoor 365 squares. The weather was lovely all the way through, sunshine and a chilling breeze, which made…

Cosdon Hill to Hangingstone Hill and back to Belstone

Cosdon Hill and the tors all around

This turned into a walk which circumnavigated Cosdon Hill, whilst picking up all the tors in the area that I’ve missed for one reason or another. I started out from Shilstone Tor and made a careful plan to avoid as much of the soggy ground as possible. You are never going to be totally dry…

Cosdon Hill round to Belstone Tor

The first proper long walk this year, with the clocks going back, daylight is longer and the weather is getting more favourable. I have neglected the north eastern corner of Dartmoor, particularly around Belstone so this was a walk to put it right. I took in 9 new tops, plus a couple of stone circles…
