This walk: 2008-5-22. A leaden sky for this visit to Hound Tor, cairn circle and cist (kistvaen), bluebells, Medieval settlement, Greator Rocks, Holwell Lawn, waterfalls, elusive boundary stone.

This walk relates to earlier walks where we were looking for, among other things, boundary stones including one that was not seen previously ..... (it was not located this time, either).
