    Belstone to Hangingstone Hill Walk

    Walking the Belstone to Hangingstone Hill Trail is a fun journey in the northern part of Dartmoor National Park that will lead you across several rugged tors. While out on the trail, you will steadily climb uphill across the undulating landscape, travelling between the village of Belstone in the north and beautifully scenic Hangingstone Hill in the south. Be sure to wear proper walking boots that have good support and are ideally water-resistant, as you will need to ford a river near the end of the route.
