Monday 6th August Lustleigh and around

This is Sharpitor (266) one of  a line of tors on the ridge line above the north east of Lustleigh Cleave. A very large tor with many granite outcrops.

Next I went through the woods in search of Gradner Rocks coming across this solitary jogger.

Just before the rocks is this memorial bench with an outstanding view across to Yarner Wood and Trendlebere Down

Gradner Rocks (267)

Leaving this area I went on to the car park next to Haytor Rocks.  At this time of the year this is understandably something of a 'honey pot'.

Bag Tor (268) is in the opposite direction and about a kilometre from the car park - there was no one else here!

Due east from the tor is Teignmouth....

...looking back to Haytor.

Back to the car and on to Ausewell Woods.  This is private woodland but there were no keep out signs just a sign confirming no public right of way and another reminding visitors not to start any fires. There was easy access around the side of the gate.

A winding walk following the track down through the woods.

Ausewell Rocks (269) can just be seen through the undergrowth.

Further on through the woods to find Raven Rock (270).  Only a small part of the tor can be seen from the track....

...there is more of the tor on the slope below.

The only way out was to go back the way I had come and I caught a glimpse of a deer moving ahead of me.  It stopped and paused....

...before taking off again.

The final tor of the day was Scobitor (271).  This is on private farmland but I was able to view it from Pudsham Down.  The tower on top of the tor was built in 1868 and is a grade II listed building.
