    Cox Tor Walk

    If you are looking for a relatively quick and painless adventure in Dartmoor National Park that will provide panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, then the Cox Tor Walk is a great option. Although you will be walking uphill to reach the viewpoint, the terrain is fairly laid back until you reach the rocky summit, which makes for a pleasant day on the trails that can be enjoyed by nearly anyone. Don’t forget to wear good walking shoes in order to secure the best footing along the trail.

Setting out from the car park, you will head to the north across the road and begin to make your way gradually uphill across the barren terrain of the moor.

After taking in the views, simply head back down the same path to return to the trailhead.
