Overview

Walk to Grimspound and Challacombe, hopefully not too late for swathes of bluebells on the fields around Challacombe. We’ll be following the Two Moors Way to the top of Hookney Tor before heading down to Grimspound and then Challacombe. On the way back we’ll be passing remnants of the tin mine industry.

Some ups and downs and probably muddy in places. Dogs on leads.

Bring a drink for our coffee break.

Please book by texting the walk leader (no emails).

Option for refreshment at the Warren House Inn afterwards.
