Lovely photos, such an intriguing route as well - definitely a lot to stop and look at which is perfect for longer strolls! Looks like you had some great weather as well, so the visibility must have been amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. It was a wonderful walk with views for miles
DeleteThis is a lovely post! Dartmoor is such a beautiful place and it lends itself to hours and hours of exploring! The natural location is second to none and so great to have on your doorstep!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes we are most fortunate
DeleteSuch great photos mapping out your walk. I like the bullet holes on the metal wall: was that some sort of shelter?
ReplyDeleteThank you. The bullet marks are on a large and very solid metal target. This particular target is no longer used by the military but large parts of the moor are often closed whilst the military are training.
