Walking just east of Tavistock, we went in search of a number of tors: Prowtytown Rocks (300m) - worth it for the views westward! Pew Tor (322m), on to Sampford Tor, (293m), back via Hucken Tor (313m), Heckwood Tor with a view of the unreachable Vixen Tor (321m) [N5], Feather Tor (313m) and Barn Hill Rocks (336m). All pictured below:
On the way back to the car we passed Windy Post [N4]. The 'bull's eye' in the leat stone was not visible though, as the water was too high and completely flowing over the rock. On our return, I read Jonathan the poetic version of the legend of Vixen Tor from the Dartmoor 365 [N5] book. It's a lovely mix of Hiawatha and Dartmoor imagery.
