A steady rocky climb to the highest point on Exmoor. Great views from the top looking over Devon, Somerset and across the channel to Wales. After the climb enjoy the long trail back down to the road. There are often lots of walkers especially on the climb side of this segment so don't forget to say Hi!

The route is exposed and can be very windy and / or cold so be prepared.

The highest point on Exmoor is not to be missed. It's a rough path and the descent, in particular, is quite loose.
