I’ve referred to Grimspound settlement in some previous blogs however I have not blogged it specifically. The area I walked for this blog is just to the west of Grimspound. I was walking in the area last week and, as part of the walk, I wandered around the area and [...]
A welcome opportunity for a walk on the moors with a friend took us to Shipley Bridge on the southern edge of the moors. It was late February and, although not cold, the weather was best described as “mixed” I guess. The car park there is often quite full and [...] 
Effectively this is a follow on from my previous post from the same day’s walk here. The photos in the previous one were orientated around the scenery on the day and this one covers some of the antiquities and remains in the Headland Warren area generally. Walking south [...] Frost and fog on the edge of Dartmoor I set off towards the moors looking for a day similar to the one in the last two posts – clear and cold.

The work of man can be [...] I guess I was in a thoughtful mood while I was out today and the title of this occurred to me while I was driving up to the moors. We have had a few frosty mornings over the past few days (temperatures around -3 deg C) but this was the [...]
Around 50% of the hits on this blog for the past week have had some variation of “dartmoor snow” in the search. In practice Devon has had very little of the snow that has been affecting the UK over that week. However some did fall in the past couple of [...]
Once again testing my ankle I decided to try something a little more challenging that would take me across some rougher moorland. I set out from Dunnabridge and headed to Laughter tor. The tor itself is not a large one (it can be seen in the distance) however there is [...]
Having not had a proper walk for almost two months now I decided to test out the ankle on a very sunny autumn afternoon to see how it went. I walked up to Top tor first and, not having used the wide angle lens on the moors, tried [...] |
