Windy Post Granite Cross

Highlight • Religious Site

Here the hiker passes an ancient wayside cross made of granite. This small, sacred monument does not impress with a special or even striking design. Rather, it is the symbol of faith that has aged in simple dignity - and at the same time a sign along the way - that still leaves a deep impression in the middle of this lonely landscape. It can be assumed that the builders at the time did not just want to set up a profane wayside sign, but also asked for God's protection and blessing with this cross.

Pew Tor

Highlight • Climb

Pew Tor is a peak in Dartmoor National Park. The tor rises above the lowlands of Whitchurch and Plaster Downs above Tavistock.

The tor has plenty of large boulders to climb around on to try and get the best views of the surrounding countryside, and is quite close to roads and parking, so makes a perfect scramble for those not wishing to walk too far.

King's Tor is a 1,476 feet (450 m) granite peak in Dartmoor National Park, high above the Walkham Valley. From here on a clear day you can see Cox Tor, Great Mis Tor and the Staple Tors. It's also surrounded by evidence of industrial action, with no less than four quarries surrounding this Tor.

Cist Stones on Dartmoor

Highlight • Natural Monument

The cist stones of Dartmoor are ancient burial structures dating back to the Bronze Age. Scattered across the moorland, these stone-lined tombs were used for cremation burials, often covered by a cairn. They offer a glimpse into the region's prehistoric past and are a key feature of Dartmoor’s archaeological landscape.
