Walk details below - Information about the route etc.
Corn ditches originate from the time when Dartmoor was a
royal hunting area and there was a need to keep the King�s deer out of the
cultivated land. A stone revetted wall and external ditch faced onto the open
moor which deterred deer and other animals from jumping over, whilst the sloping
grassy bank on the inner face allowed those animals which had entered to exit
again without difficulty. Source:

Dartmoor CAM movie Moor Strollers gathered beside Drake's Leat for a fairy tale lecture about the local history. Sir Francis Drake riding his white horse ahead of the water running into Plymouth, indeed! It is recorded, however ..... it must be a Dartmoor tale!

MAP: Blue = planned route, Red = GPS satellite track of the walk.
The blue lines are the compass or GPS bearings. The red line is the route actually walked: it deviates sometimes from the blue lines to avoid obstacles such as thick bracken, gorse, bogs or clitter, and often to use paths or animal tracks that are not on the map. It may also be shorter than the planned (blue) route if the walk is curtailed for some reason.
