| Gidleigh Tor West Side |
Picked up a few of the outlying tors today, first up was the
walk up to Gidleigh Tor (154) through the woods from the south, now this is
private ground so unfortunately there is only so close you can get to the tor
itself, I seemed to get lost and hit the tor from below, so had to head back to
the path quickly. The tor itself is very
overgrown, as you would expect being on private land and rarely visited. But the woods are beautiful, and there is a
stunning view over the moors to the North West.
Once I had found the correct path I return south through the woods to my
car. Next up was Meldon Hill (121) and I
found good parking at SX698857, right at the bottom of the track. Meldon Hill turned out to be a gem of a Tor,
the 360 degree views are amazing and well worth the short walk. Fernworthy Forest, Kestor Rock, MiddleTor,
Haytor Rocks, Bowermans Nose and Cosdon Beacon to name but a few were all visible
from here, a truly stunning place.
