West Mill Tor 542.7m P20.3 (1780ft) (DoBIH Hill ID: 19861) [JNSA s2045] Dartmoor National Park Definitive List summit.

I did this walk in November and there were long sections of the path water logged and boulder strewn, the 3 river crossings on stepping stones were hazardous but passable. Do not undertake unless sure footed and with waterproof boots in wet seasons. A couple just in front of us were waiting for mountain rescue as she had slipped on one set of stepping stones and couldn’t walk

A lovely walk at any time of the year, there is a steep ascent, good footwear and a pole are advisable.

view from the car park

There's a great path along the river here. The water rushes, the birds sing in the forest, and it's truly relaxing.
