A very pleasant walk involving some climbing. Near Bonehill Rocks you take a track on left - here Spielberg shot some of his scenes for War Horse. You can avoid the climb to Chinkwell Tor by continuing along a track keeping Tor on your right. Other Tors which can be explored are Bell Tor and Honeybag Tor. | |||
