Holiday - Cornwall - Day 4 - Fox Tor Walk

Cornwall Holiday

Sunday 28th October 2018
We had planned to go  service ringing this morning in Launceston, but after we had a lie in we realised we wouldn't get there in time!  We had a relaxed morning and the eventually headed into Launceston to get some bread and a pasty for lunch.  

Back at the cottage we had a look at the maps and decided where we were going to go for a walk - we decided to head over the hills behind where we are staying.

We parked up at Tolcarne and walked up onto the Moor towards Fox Tor.






From the top of Fox Tor we made our way to a ring cairn that marked the top of East Moor.  The ring was only just visible!



So far the going had been good and we had not come across any access issues - we even found some way markers!!



The next point on the Moor we aimed for was Greymare Rock - a large strange rounded boulder in the middle of nowhere!





Next stop was Carey Tor.



Dodging round the edge of Watery Marsh we walked up onto Ridge to find a Tumulus.




We made our way off the top of the hill and rejoined the path we started our walk on.


It was a nice walk and even better that there were no access issues and no rain!

Back at the cottage we got warmed up and had some dinner followed by a relaxing evening.  

Unfortunately tomorrow is home time.  We are going to go to the climbing wall at Exeter on the way and the onto Portland to collect Doughnut bunny.
