Journey back in time by walking part of the old South Zeal-Hangingstone Hill peat merchants and tinners track that skirts dangerous Raybarrow Pool, visiting the Bronze Age Whitmoor stone circle with its magnificent 360 degree views, and impressive reconstructed triple stone row known as the Graveyard or Cemetery. Climbing up Cosdon Beacon for stunning views, we end our day with a refreshing swim at the beautiful Shilley Pool.

Further Information
WHAT TO WEAR/BRING: Warm layers (especially to put on after swimming), sturdy walking shoes, walking poles, waterproof jacket and trousers (whatever the forecast), sunscreen (here's hoping!), swimming costume and towel, as well as lunch, snacks, and drinks.
Dogs - By arrangement only please.
We also recommend bringing personal masks, a pair of disposable gloves, and a personal first aid kit. (From a safety perspective, this offers additional protection against Covid-19 if there were to be an accident and first aid is required by me or the rescue teams. Sorry we know it seems onerous but, given current government guidelines, these are currently being proposed by all guides.)
