Overview

Starting from the beauty spot of Hexworthy Bridge we lead via Dartmeet to the steep hill to Sharp Tor (for coffee). Then we follow Dr Blackall’s Drive to New Bridge (toilets and ice cream available). The Holne woods lead to Holne (for lunch; pub drink possible) and Michelcombe to the next climb to Home Moor. We cross this to Combestone Tor. From here we follow the attractive road to the starting point.
