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

Great on a dry day

Get your lunch here, outside with a view:

Busy in the summer, icecream van 😋

Amazing tranquility

The ever so slightly smaller summit of High Willhays, Yes Tor feels grander due to the large granite outcrop. Standing beside the triangulation point atop of Yes Tor offers beautiful views in all directions. A must climb if hiking with the Meldon area.

Ancient bridge across the river, a lovely spot for lunch.

Near Fingle Bridge, if the need arises, there is also a very convenient public toilet.

Very nice bridge. Nice excursion restaurant. Good starting point for walks or hikes along the romantic Teign.

The Hunter's Path is a high level trail, running from Hunter's Tor in the west, along an awesome airy trail below Castle Drogo and through Drewston Wood. The trail is well maintained by the National Trust, but does get steeper and sometimes slippery at the eastern end, above Fingle Bridge.

Fingle Bridge is a 17th-century stone bridge over the River Teign. It's a useful crossing point linking some of the enjoyable gravel riverside trails in the area. The riverside paths on both sides of the river make great running loops. The Fingle Bridge hotel is also a good pit stop, set in idyllic surroundings.

Castle Drogo is a 20th-century castle overlooking the Teign Valley. It's owned and managed by the National Trust and makes a great stop off or start point for a run in the area. If you decide to start here, it's paid parking for non-NT members. The café at the visitor centre serves a good selection of light meals, snacks and drinks, perfect to stock up before you go or refuel after your run.

A beautiful granite outcrop overlooking the Plym valley, and surrounding woodland. The cliff itself is a somewhat stark contrast to the rest of the moor, it's lush and tree lined, rather than wind-swept and desolate. Even the rock type is much different, it's generally much finer and smoother granite, rather than the big sharp crystals as found elsewhere on the moor. The cliff offers some fantastic rock climbing, and some brilliant open views.

A stone bridge, crossing the River Plym, in Dartmoor National Park. The banks of the Plym offer a great spot for a breather, and even a quick dip on a hot day. There's even sometimes an ice-cream van.

Area of Woodland in Dartmoor National Park. The woodland is home to some ancient broad-leaf trees, and a diverse range of flora and fauna. You'll also see some relics from the area's granite and clay mining past. The trails in this area in the wood are a mix of steep, rooty, technical, to comfortable and mellow former-tramway. Go and explore! The woodland holds the fantastic Dewerstone Crag, which arguably has some of the best climbing routes in the South-West.

A beautifully quaint part of the country and such a nice spot to include on a run.

Wild and exposed especially in the winter, but the views from up here are totally worth it.

Wild and open, you’re pretty exposed to the elements, especially in the winter!

Meldon Reservoir was constructed in the 1970s to supply water to the surrounding area. The car park by the dam offers good access to the high tors of north Dartmoor. Run across the dam and up onto the moor or along the enjoyable lakeside trail.

High Willhays is the highest point in the south west and just bests it's neighbour Yes Tor, I like approaching from the okemont drop, coming from kitty tor down and up via fordsland ledge. An absolute beast of a run or hike up
