TWW 20th August 2019


The inaugural Burrator Skyline Walk. From the dam on a lovely day to head clockwise. Gently up to the railway and round to Lowery Cross. Through the woods to pop out underneath Peek Hill. Steadily up to superb views far and wide. Through the col and round what is left of the forest to have a nice cuppa by Stenlake. By the leat and past the Indian's Head to the waterfall and aqueduct. Up and on to Crazy Well Pool which was too busy. So we headed on and down to the ruined Classeywell Farm for a spot of lunch. The Newleycombe ford was found and a quick nip up Down brought more fantastic views. Across Narrator and up the refurbished track to Sheepstor. Joey's Lane and the tricky stile took us on and round rather a low reservoir back to the cars. A fine day out.

You really do have to be there ...
