最近（2026年4月8日）再舗装され、硬い路面になり、大きくて緩い石の多い大変な状況に取って代わりました。

Great on a dry day

This stone circle from the Bronze Age, thousands of years before the beginning of the Christian era, is not as large and nowhere near as famous as the legendary "Stonehenge" (which is, after all, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; if you're interested, see => https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/960007 ), but this one can be visited without the tourist crowds that are typical there, and it also has a much more interesting-sounding name...

I deliberately returned to this route having missed it the day before on a more ambitious circular route (which would have made it a decent). The following day I attempted to climb it with the river on the left. Whilst the start is interesting enough, the track quickly degrades to a boulder field which I'd class as un-ridable by any standards. It gets worse with any semblance of a track being reduced to looking for horse droppings! I scouted the area on foot, which itself wasn't easy, in search of a way through but finally had to accept defeat. My warning therefore is to ONLY attempt this as a descent (as Simon did) since I suspect the route might be clearer in the opposite direction - and also allow plenty of time. As a footnote, if climbing, then it's easy to find yourself on a much steeper track to the right, which oddly enough is just about climbable and fun to descend (don't think it goes anywhere though)

It's a tap installed outside a wooden shed of the electrical department and as close as you can get to a public fountain. Push the wooden lever hard to start the water flow, and enjoy.

At 564 metres (1,850 ft), Okement Hill is one of the higher points you can easily access on Northern Dartmoor. The MOD trails around this area allow good access to some of the higher rocky tors. Enjoy the amazing views northwest towards Yes Tor, southeast towards Hangingstone Hill and in all other directions across the moor.

On the 1st of May every year the local morris dancers come to dance the summer in at dawn at this spot

A beautiful section of route 27 Granite Way where the trail opens up as you pass across the Meldon Viaduct. Views across show the undulating hills of the highest area within Dartmoor National park where High Willhays and Yes Tor are situated.
