This was the most difficult of the Dartmoor Walking Festival Accessible Walks.
Location : Belstone
Starting Point : Car Park on the edge of the village
OS Grid Reference : SX622938
Distance : 4.75 Miles
Route Surface : Asphalt, Grass, Stone Track (very rough in places)
Category : Level 3 Plus
The route starts as Asphalt through the village, once through the gate onto the open moor, you go on the grass up to the flagpole at the top of Watchet Hill. Then on to Nine Maidens, where you go back towards Belstone, to find suitable access to the track for Cullever Steps.
The Track down to Cullever Steps is rough in places, but the roughest section is the track up past Winter Tor.
The route from near Winter Tor to the Taw Valley is a grass path, which is steep in places. Therefore needs to be treated with respect, especially if the grass is wet. Once in the Taw Valley the track is rough for last couple of hundred yards, before leaving the open moor. The last section is asphalt, back to the village.
