バックランドインザムーアでののおすすめランニングルート

A truly ancient place, stretching back to 1400 BC. What a task constructing the surrounding wall must have been!

Beautiful Dartmoor roads up to Hound Tor. If coming from Trendlebere, the climbing gets much easier from here.

This tor is just a stone's throw from the nearby car park and towers over Dartmoor. Very impressive, good for a short tour, as a starting point for visiting other tors, for a picnic (depending on the unpredictable weather here 😉) or recently also for climbing (you could see a few people free climbing - but I can't say for sure whether it's allowed) and for treasure hunts. Otherwise just beautiful nature and (outside of tourist times) nice and quiet.

The tor is romantically situated at a point where the slope breaks off briefly to form a spectacular series of upward-jutting rocks that, from certain angles, look like a series of jagged granite needles. Grea Tor is partially adorned with a maze of climbing plants that give it a colourful appearance: from the south, the two main crags are quite bare, with a huge cave in the eastern cluster; from the north, near the medieval village of Hound Tor, the crags are much more vegetated, where trees obscure some of the granite. In the summer months, bracken surrounds the southern base of the crags, but the crags nevertheless have an appearance that inevitably impresses the visitor who approaches and climbs over the granite. https://www.torsofdartmoor.co.uk/tor-page.php?tor=greator-rocks

It's like diving into another world. First the vastness with the low vegetation and suddenly nature changes and it becomes green in different shades, with trees and a stream. Simply mystical... 🧚‍♀️🦄🤩😂

In the late afternoon towards evening you are pretty much alone. Beautiful place to enjoy a sunset or to marvel at the stars. Here you have a 360 ° panoramic view. https://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/enjoy-dartmoor/planning-your-visit/places/haytor

Hamel Down is the large area of moorland running from Grimspound in the north to Wind Tor in the south. It's a long, wide ridge with many paths and trails winding across it. The best running follows the main ridge path downhill from Hameldown Tor to Wind Tor. The trails are mostly close-cropped grass, sprinkled with granite boulders. The running is excellent!

Kitty Jay is said to have been a servant girl at one of the nearby farms. Her lover betrayed her, distancing himself from her when they found out that she was pregnant, rather than taking responsibility and marrying Kitty. In despair, she hanged herself in a barn. In those bygone days suicide victims weren't buried in the churchyard, instead they were buried at the edge of the parish. So here lies Kitty Jay, and you'll notice that there are normally fresh flowers and often gifts left on her grave. No one knows who replaces the flowers so regularly.
