A winter stroll around Belstone

We’re heading up the river Taw in a truly winter day. Its cold and windy but feels so great to be out. The hills have an extra layer of beautiful ice and snowy patch.

We were heading to the stone circle near Little Hound Tor but soon discovered that we’ll have to take our shoes off to cross the Taw.. We’ve decided instead to climb the small ridge towards Higher Tor and Belstone common and pay tribute to the Irishman’s wall

A view south past Oke Tor. The Western parts of Dartmoor have a decent cover of snow.
