Pil Tor is an impressive rock formation that affords terrific views over the rugged Dartmoor landscape, especially over Haytor, Saddle Tor and Widecombe in the Moor. It's relatively challenging and therefore great fun to scramble upon.

Rugglestone Inn

A brilliant characterful pub just outside Widecombe. Good food and beer plus a naughty local cider that could make the ride home interesting. Nice beer garden with a stream and ducks.
