This walk: 2008-4-17. This short walk was on a gorgeously sunny day but with a near-force 8 gale blowing from the east. Many of the photos were taken against the sun but they are still quite presentable. The walk was via Nun's Cross (not photographed this time but the cross can be seen HERE - 2007-9-16 and HERE-2007-9-27. Only the tinner's hut is repeated. The main item of interest was the long stone row on Hingston Hill (as marked on the Harvey map but not on the 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey map).
The walk was based on "Walk 10 - Nun's Cross and Hingston Hill stone row" in Shortish Walks on Dartmoor..
