    Walking the Ryder’s Hill, Snowdon, Pupers Hill, and Scorriton Down trail is a wonderfully scenic journey that will expose you to some of the rugged terrain along the edge of Dartmoor National Park. While out on the trail, you will climb uphill across the rugged and barren landscape of the moor, taking in some gorgeous views of the surrounding area in the process. The route can be a bit wet and muddy in the spring or after a good rainfall, so be sure to check trail conditions prior to setting out.
