Pupers Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Red Lake is an area of former china clay workings, with a peaceful lake and volcano-shaped spoil heap. Today it's a grass covered hill with great views over the south moor. The lakes in the area are inviting on a hot day, and it's a good site for a responsible wild camp.

The track from Ivybridge is a long run, but the navigation is easy and it feels brilliantly wild.

OuterEdge Events hold a popular Dartmoor Volcano race to this point each September.

Redlake Pool

Highlight • Natural Monument

China clay was extracted here (1912 - 1933) and after settling was transported in ceramic pipes down to be processed in the drying works at Cantrell near Ivybridge (now called The Clay Factory). The track leading here (known as the Puffing Billy locally) was used by a narrow gauge railway which transported workers between here and Bittaford. There are ruins nearby of a hostel where workers stayed.

Wella Clapper Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge is well placed near Huntingdon Cross, in an area that used to be quite boggy and always difficult to walk through.
