This is a simple 3-generation Dartmoor hill walk from a rustic car park just east of Dartmeet, the confluence of the West and East Dart rivers. Unchallenging. Great views. Interesting (pre?)historic trackway. Ponies. A grid of side-tracks to explore. Rocks and stones. Something for everyone. The ringed area below shows the track, which ultimately leads to a ruined village, now barely discernable.
I find in retrospect that my photos of the route tended to concentrate overmuch on the ‘agger and fossum’ aspect of the track. There’s a perfectly good natural track to walk up. It looks a fairly steep start, but I assure you it is easy walking…
Looking back down the hill to the car park
At the top are inviting side tracks leading off the main one
No walk here would be complete without at least one pony and foal pair
There are fine views in all directions, especially from the east right round to the west
Not much grows here except grass and the exceptionally hardy gorse and heather

Thank you, dear Berry for the lovely photos! I enjoyed walking behind you, thanks for taking me. 🙂
