We set out across the ford and past the Scout Hut to the
entertainment of some young troops being put through their paces. Up across to Whittenknowles rocks and
settlements that sport the very first terraced ……… yes you’ve guessed……..
medieval longhouse!!!
Up the hill and across the Thrusselcombe brook to Higher
Hartor Tor. Wonderful view. Down out of
the breeze to lower Hartor for a cuppa and then down through the most wonderful
Drizzlecombe with stone rows, cairns, cists and standing stone galore oh yes and the Giants Basin of course!
On past Ditsworthy Warren House – no rabbits or war horses
around today. Round by the path to search for and find a lovely vermin trap,
half an apple crusher, an unfinished cross and ……. Hurrah……. Another medieval
longhouse.
Over the top of Gutter Tor and back to the cars – oh yes and
more sightings of troops running around.
On to a lovely lunch at the welcoming Walkhampton Inn –
despite them claiming to not know we had booked – we did honest!
