This 12KM was actually two separate walks – we had visited Kingstor in a previous week, but as its not too far out of the way, I thought I would incorporate it into this walk. The Merrivale area is a fantastic spot for exploring, with numerous antiquities and tors all in close […]

Despite this being quite close to roads and therefore one of the busiest walking routes, the Mini Ten Tors is one of my favourite walks on Dartmoor. Its relatively easy for Dartmoor, a pretty well trodden path, mostly dry but with a few steep climbs throughout the day. Throughout the […]
