Perambulation of the Forest of Dartmoor (Rattlebrook Foot to Princetown)

The full Perambulation of the Forest of Dartmoor is around 50 miles. This post covers one leg (or around 20% of the route). The perambulation is being completed for the fourth time by the author as part of the 780th anniversary (1240-2020), having first completed it in 1990 (750th Anniversary). Each of the previous three perambulations were completed in a clockwise direction, this one being anti-clockwise.

The post covering this section of the Permabulation has now located on the Dartmoor Explorations ‘sister’ (.COM) website (dartmoorexplorations.com). Please click on the map below to be re-directed to the appropriate page

The route from Rattlebrook Foot to Princetown, adapted from the Bill Ransom publication. Most of the route followed in this post follows the 1608 accepted historic boundary, with the exception of White Barrow, which most modern perambulators visit between Limsboro Cairn and Dead Lake Foot.
