The circular outline of Dunnabridge Pound at SX 64610 74628. I parked at a P symbol on the map at SX 64180 74630 although there is some off-road parking where the car is in the photo
Entrance to Dunnabridge Pound
Sheltered seat in the Pound, presumably for farmers watching their animals
Laughter Tor, off to the left of the walk, at SX 65280 75690, after leaving Brownberry Newtake

View from the same point towards North Hessary Tor, with the TV mast
View north along the edge of Outer Huccaby Ring (SX 65578 74460), rather overgrown with gorse etc

As previous
Chapel of St Raphael (SX 66278 73040)

Looking back at the chapel
West Dart River
View south from Hexworthy Bridge (SX 65885 72885)
Hexworthy Bridge
The Forest Inn (SX 65495 72648) - a welcome sight on a hot day, especially when you leave the planned route and stay on the road - it is steep uphill!
The "pimple" north-east in the distance is possibly Littaford or Beardown Tor, from SX 64965 72820
The cutting by Gobbett Tine Mine Tunnel (is it the tunnel collapsed?)
Next Christmas's yuletide log at SX 64720 73113? Note the rucksack for scale
Another view - I counted precisely 100 annual rings, although there may have been another at the bark
The first stepping stones at SX 64680 73140, easy ones
The path northwards towards the main stepping stones
A pleasant valley view, en route to the main stepping stones
32 stepping stones at SX 64815 73708 - note that some are conical!
Looking back, you can see two conical stones
A quiet river view (West Dart River, near confluence with the River Swincombe)
