Welcome to the highest point on Dartmoor National Park! This 6.1-mile loop trail is packed with adventure and breathtaking views that will leave you in awe. Challenge yourself as you trek through rugged terrain and reach the summit!

The trail starts from Meldon Reservoir Car Park (bring change for parking) and continues up away from the reservoir towards Black Tor. You’ll then bear left and follow the visible trails to Yes Tor and High Willhays before coming back down along the paths towards the car park.

Be prepared for some boggy and rocky sections, adding an extra element of fun to the journey. I would highly recommend doing this walk in summer if you can!
