My Country Walks



Welcome to my new blog following my move to the Cotswolds in early 2018.

Previously living on the edge of Dartmoor I shared details of my walks on Dartmoor on my previous blog My Dartmoor Walks. As I explore this new area I will share details of the routes here.

Monday 3rd August 2026 - Around Burrator

Back on Dartmoor for a few days. A solo walk aroound Burrator starting from Dousland. Over Yennadon Down to pick up the old railway line, then to follow the leat for a while. Leather tor bridge, Raddick Lane and on to Crazy Well Pool. Across to Down Tor, Combshead Tor, Cuckoo Rock and back on the otherside of the reservoir. I turned out a bit hotter than expected! 11.5 miles.
