Making our way up on to the moor |
||
Up an old drovers' route | ||
With views back down the valley | ||
We reach a pre-historic site |
||
Not sure if our ancestors used them as seats | ||
We set off again | ||
With a quick glance back down the neat rows of stones | ||
Then heading up over | ||
Cosden Hill | ||
Doesn't look very comfortable! | ||
Following a boggy trail | ||
Down across the moor | ||
Heading towards Belstone | ||
Lunch at a picturesque pond | ||
We cross the stream | ||
And make our way | ||
Into the villlage | ||
A quick look in the church | ||
Our path then takes us past another pre-historic site | ||
Then we continue downhill | ||
Now following the Tarka Trail | ||
Chance for a group photo | ||
We follow the East Okement river | ||
Along rocky paths | ||
A lovely river | ||
Continuing | ||
Downstream | ||
Our leader having a slip | ||
Reaching Okehampton through a small park | ||
With ornamental gardens | ||
Now where's the nearest cafe? | ||
