Sunday 20th May Crow Tor

Starting from Two Bridges and along the footpath that leads to Beardown Farm.

Through the woods and on to the open moor.

To Beardown Tors which are three large granite outcrops.

Lydford Tor in the distance. A typical 'Dartmoor' day with hill fog that was slow to clear.

Lydford Tor (180) looking back to Beardown Tors.


Onwards toward Connies Down Tor.  My picnic today beside this lovely little waterfall on the Cowsic River.
















Connies Down Tor (181) towards Holming Beam.  From here...

...around the top of the valley...

...to Devils Tor (182) and the Standing Stone known as Beardown Man - about 2.5 metres high.

Next a short walk to Rough Tor (183) - which is totally spoilt by the range huts and then to...

...Crow Tor (184) with the three tors of Beardown Tor in the background.

Across the valley with this convenient island which made the river crossing easy and up to...

...Lower White Tor (185) - at last the sun had come out.

From here you can see the remains of Browns House in the distance and in the middle of the photo below.

Looking across to Row Tor but that one is for another day.

Up to Higher White Tor (186)

The route back past Longaford Tor and Littaford Tor.

Finally Little Bee Tor (187) - if you are coming the other way this is the first granite outcrop after the style and  most would regard this as a part of Littaford Tors.
