Trail Reviews

IanRussell
May 3, 2024, Manaton, Bowerman's Nose & Hound Tor loop — Dartmoor National Park

Some spectacular views from the tors of the surrounding countryside and other tors. A few long segments of single lane road which is a shame but it did make for quicker and easier going to the next highlight. Some quite taxing uphill sections that go on a way but generally we'll worth the effort
