Overview

Please note the slightly earlier start time.

This walk will be relatively speedy with some steep uphill climbs and some uneven and boggy ground.  If the weather is good there will be many spectacular views.  There is a ladder stile out to Peek Hill and 2 metal plank crossings over streams.

We will start at Burrator Quarry car park.  We will climb up Peek Hill and then proceed past Sharpitor to the top of Leeden Tor. Next comes Black Tor and Black Tor falls.  We then climb to the top of Cramber Tor and then descend back to Burrator via Crazywell pool.

We meet the shorter walk group at Burrator Discovery centre for lunch.  The orchestra has been booked to accompany your enthusiastic carol singing.
