Beautiful circular walk to explore the location origins of a famous Dartmoor Witch legend. Exploring history and mystery along the way, we will see if we can reimagine these stories, and reawaken our innate human connection with nature, mystery and old magic.
Tickets

Location:
Swallerton Gate car park (under Hound Tor). Grid Ref SX739792. The car park is approximately 2 1/2 miles west of Haytor Vale on the B3387 - from this direction, turn right to Hound Tor & Manaton. Continue for 1 1/2 mile (approx.) to Swallerton Gate Cross - the car park is signposted with a 'P' to the right.
Nearest postcode for SatNav is TQ13 9XG but we don't recommend following a sat nav as it rarely takes you to an exact Dartmoor location.

Car Sharing - Please car share in your ‘bubbles’ where possible. Parking is limited on Dartmoor. And sharing lessens our impact on the environment. Thank you.

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.)
