Friday 29th September Cuckoo Rock - and an Indian Summer!

A very hot day. Something was going on - no less than 3 National Park Rangers in the car park.

A short solo walk from Norsworthy Bridge but with spectacular views all around.  Starting with the track to Deanscombe past one of the many farms abandoned when the reservoir was created.

Looking back to Sheeps Tor

To the abandoned farm of Deancombe.

 Cuckoo Rock ahead.

Time to linger for a while just to enjoy the views...  to Sheeps Tor

....Gutter Tor

Then on to Combshead Tor looking over to Leather Tor and Sharpitor...

 ..and across to the many tin workings at the top of Deancombe

..with  Down Tor on the right

Next over to the stone circle and the long stone row...

.... looking back to Combshead Tor

Then on to Down Tor looking to Leedon tor, Swell Tor and Foggintor quarries with Staple Tor in the far distance.

Back across to Crazy Well Pool and Cramber Tor.

Finally back to Norsworthy bridge and Burrator reservoir.
