This is Haytor and you can even see this view from the car park! But why would you just sit there? Do you find it inviting? And imagine the view from up there! This was taken yesterday when the sun was beginning to show and the colours are exactly as I saw them. The haze over the tor was a litttle more dense but you get the general idea here.
Haytor is a local favourite when it snows as it is easily reachable from main roads and the slope down to the road is nice and gentle. I wouldn't recommend climbing up the rocks on a windy day though.

View of Saddle Tor and Haytor from Rippon Tor - now Rippon Tor is quite a climb but what a view? All very reachable from the road and, if the fog comes down, just go back down again! There is a car park at the bottom of this tor too.
Maybe you don't want to join the Ramblers as they walk too fast? Maybe you don't want to walk with a group of strangers in case you can't keep up? Maybe you have personal fears that stop you going out on your own? Help is at hand! Get in touch with me and we can go out there and take it at your pace as well as talking through any aspects of your life that you may like to be motivated to change or improve on a personal confidential one to one basis.
Now here is a nice walk. A stroll through the quarry, which is stunning at any time of year and changes all the time, over to see the view beyond Haytor and round to Holwell Quarry, back over Haytor. Two and a half hours and can be extended....
Now you may be thinking that you don't need to go there to see the views as I have posted them here for you!!! Well you don't get the extra benefit of fresh air, a good blast of striding through soft grass and maybe some boggy areas, climbing a few rocks and the opportunity to roll down the hill at the end if you so choose! There's even an old tramway to guide you if you get stuck....but if you take the wrong turn it can lead you to a dead/rocky/boggy end so watch out!
