Quite a strenuous but rewarding walk ideal for a sunny day!
It includes several climbs and descents combining three Tors :
Haytor , Holwel Tor and Hound Tor
Hound Tor, the one looking perhaps like a pack of hounds, offers magnificent views and overlooks the remains of a deserted medieval village.
A good place for a picnic as it is exactly half way.
