OVERVIEW : A looped walk starting at Burrator Reservoir. The route goes up Sheeps Tor, and Down Tor, and then snakes it’s way back through some wooded areas along Devonport Leat. Opportunity to find Pixies House or Piskies House Cave. START : Burrator Carpark (SX 549 676) END : As above (looping route) DISTANCE : 10 Miles TERRAIN : Mostly path. Some off path areas on top of the Tors. Also limited path after Down Tor for a while before picking up the path again. Rough route: OS Maps It was a lovely sunny Saturday when I went for this walk and so the carpark at Burrator was really busy. However, after a little fight for a space I left the car park and headed down the hill towards the reservoir. I then walked across the big dam/bridge and followed the road down to where you can enter a gate and cross the second dam with the view of Sheeps Tor ahead of me.

OVERVIEW : A nice loop walk taking in Ingra Tor, and South Hessary Tor, as well as Devonport Leat. Includes the option to stop in Princetown for snacks and drinks. Could also add on Sharpitor while in the area. START : Sharpitor Car Park (SX 560 708) END : As above (looping route) DISTANCE : 9 Miles TERRAIN : Mostly path. Slightly steep downhill section near Devonport Leat Aqueduct. Rough route: OS Map From the Sharpitor car park I headed north west along a fairly well defined grassy path with Leeden Tor looming over my right hand side. Path from the car park Eventually I picked up a more substantial gravel path which I followed in a roughly northerly direction. I could easily see Ingra Tor up ahead. I followed this path and then climbed up over the top of Ingra Tor. However, you could also follow the path as it curves around the back if you didn't fancy the climb.
