Fords like this one litter the military roads around this part of Dartmoor. Of course, there are usually bridges nearby if you don't want to get your feet wet, but where's the fun in that?

Running

Take the ford or the bridge, depending on how dry you want your feet to stay. This is an old military road so the ford was once used by gun carriages. You can see the remnants of the paving on either side of the water.

It also makes a lovely wild swimming spot if you are looking to combine both running and dipping.
