    Route Description for Gutter Tor Walk

    Walking the Gutter Tor Trail is a fantastic adventure that can be experienced by walkers of all varieties and skill types, especially those with an interest in Medieval history. Setting out from the car park, you will make your way to the southwest to scale the slopes of Gutter Tor, overlooking the marshy terrain of Gutter Mire just below to the east. After taking in the views, follow the trail downhill to the southeast, where it will bend to the northeast to take you across the undulating terrain.

From here, turn to the southwest and follow the trail back to the car park where you began your journey.
