A rich walk through Dartmoor’s quieter corners, where Shipley Bridge and the Red Brook reveal hidden beauty. This guide follows paths from the Moor gate toBrent Moor, inviting careful exploring of ancient remains and stunning river scenery.
From the bridge, you’ll see a waterfall tumbling over granite and a deep pool that refreshes the river’s course. The surrounding brakes, stone walls, and firs create a Swiss-like vista, with the Moor’s edge unfurling toward the distant horizon. Henchertraw and the Red Brook offer intimate moments of nature, history, and quiet reflection.
Experience highlights:
- Follow the Moor path to Shipley Bridge and the nearby waterfall with its granite bed and pool.
- Explore Zeal Hill’s huts, old workings, and antiquities that dot the hillside.
- Trace the Red Brook through Henchertraw, a deep-cut “trough” where moss, ferns, and tiny cascades glow in sunshine.
- Learn short stories of local tinners, ancient dwellings, and the landscape that shaped life on Dartmoor.
Ideal for readers who love Dartmoor scenery, local history, and guided excursions into lesser-known moorland spots.
