Overview

From Princetown we will walk to Bachelor's hall, Beardown farm and Longaford Tor. We will then climb Beardown Tor and continue to Black Dunghill, which can be quite boggy. The return to Princetown is via Great Mis Tor and North Hessary Tor. This is an opportunity to experience a wide variety of terrains including tussocks, bogs and stream crossings. On a clear day there will be many magnificent views.
