Tag along with us on Dartmoor with the cows

Tag along with us to Pew Tor on Dartmoor. Kevin, Paula & Bella join us for this lovely walk. We park at Pork Hill Car Park and make our way away from the road and follow a path to our left. We soon come across a waterfall beside the Grimstone and Sortridge Leat. The old granite cross, which stands on the other side of the leat is believed to be 16th century. This is Windy Post Cross. It has been carved from one single slab of granite and stands at 2 metres high. There are over 100 of these crosses on Dartmoor once used to mark the course of major pathways across the open moors. A few steps from the cross is the Bullseye Stone. This vertical stone slab has been bored with a circular hole in its centre and placed across the leat to allow a measured amount of water through. This was common practice on Dartmoor to supply a set amount of water to farms. We carry on walking to the left and soon come across a bridge that we can cross to get to the other side of the leat. From here we take a path straight in front of us up to Feather Tor. From Feather Tor, we can see Pew Tor slightly to the right of us in the distance and make our way down the paths towards it, crossing a stream on our way. This is an easy circular walk of around 3 miles, which can be very muddy and wet.
