"Starting from the carpark near the Warren House Inn and heading east skirting the north of Birch Tor, then following the Two Moors Way across to near Hookney Tor, a slight detour to tick off Shapley Tor, then picking up the Two Moors Way again and following it south via Grimspound, Hameldown Tor and along the ridge line all the way down to Wind Tor. After brief stop for lunch, headed back north via the road crossing the river at Challacombe medieval village picking up the track through Challacombe Farm. Then the near vertical climb up Challacombe down before passing the ancient stone row, old mine works and ascending Birch Tor to complete the loop before heading back to car park. Solo. Very hot sunny day." — MuchMoorWalking • Jun 12, 2021
"Very nice remote and peaceful area. Climbed up from Grimspound and past Hameldown Tor. Some great features that are well worth visiting. Ancient Cross, WWII Memorial site and WWII Glider Posts. " — Evie-and-Me • Feb 11, 2019
"From the main car park in Widdecombe-in-the-Moor. I took the lane west, and then the track up the east flank of the hill, then north along the ridge to the summit. i continued on to Hameldon Tor 529m, and then a loop around the head of the West Wedburn valley, taking in Birch Tor 487m/35m and Challacombe Down 463m/40m. A road walk south on the quiet lane brought me to the end of the track of my outward route, and so back over the south shoulder of Hameldown to my starting point. Solo.
An afternoon of white broken cloud brought in on a fresh south wind, and sunshine. No rain." — marktrengove2 • Apr 29, 2017
