"Parked at Hound Tor Car Park and walked NW along road towards Jay's Grave. Just after, took to the track across Cripdon Down to the main tor in the distance. Returning slightly and following the farm wall east towards the style, realised the bracken was too thick and deep to get through, so continued up grass track to newly installed gate and walked down to Moorhayes. Crossed over and up to Bowerman's Nose, the various outcrops on Hayne Down, then back down to the road returning passed car park to complete the three tors of Hound Tor Down, Greator Rocks and Great Hound Tor. Solo. 10.1km. Overcast." — MuchMoorWalking • Aug 14, 2021
"Absolutely stunning day weather-wise. Hound Tor was a bit busy when I got there but was quieter on the way back to my car. I was intending on walking a lot further on this trip, but I somehow left my walking boots at home and had to do this walk in the ageing Adidas gazelles. I had intended to visit Holwell Quarry and Hedge Down Tor as well today." — beccagulliver • May 30, 2021
"The first tor of the day on our YouTuber meet up - It was very windy on top of Hounds Tor but it was also a clear day and the views were fabulous. After visiting the Hound Tor we dropped down into the valley via the settlement ruins for a quick photo opportunity. " — mikebright • Jun 23, 2017
