Prison & bleak centre of Moor

Princetown village, Prison, Highly visible TV mast at Princetown. Lots of inaccessible areas. Generally awful riding

AVOID:

Military Area when firing, Rocky areas, Going further North into moor. Bridlepath through Dunghill very boggy

TAKE CARE:

Busy main roads, Bridlepath at 608 739 south of Roundhill farm can be boggy. Bridlepath running W to E. on top of map has several treacherous boggy patches that come upon you and can be right in middle of path. At Broad Hole on River Cowslick 592 787 there is a bog just N of crossing, Even worse at 607 781 crossing West Dart is very difficult indeed and takes ages. Only way is go down river and lead horse back up bank. Not recommended. (improvements in this area are under consideration by DNPA)

ROUTES: P:

Princetown -easy down old railway track east B –Beardown Tor (north of) is not easy.

Points of Interest:

Two Bridges Hotel.

Wistmans Wood (though not accessible by horse

Access/ Parking:
