Overview

Meet opposite the Fox & Hounds pub, catch the 0952 bus to Okehampton and walk back. From Okehampton the walk takes in East Hill, Meldon Quarry and Reservoir, then follows the West Devon Way to Sourton Tors, and the Rattlebrook railway track to Nodden Gate and the start.

Typical Dartmoor walk, rough tracks, steep uphills, some road walking.
