Hamel Down Cross, Devon

Located in Widecombe in the Moor, Devon, South West England, England
The remains of a granite cross on Hamel Down in Dartmoor National Park most probably used as a way marker or boundary stone
Hamel Down Cross is a brief walk from Hameldown Tor and English Heritage's Grimspound. It's also on the Two Moors Way. We've located it on the Google map so zoom in to see its position
To visit Hamel Down Cross, start at one of the car parking spaces at the side of the road just to the west of Grimspound. Climb the north flank of Hamel Down to Hameldown Tor. The cross is to your south. As ever, we'd recommend studying the Ordnance Survey OL28 'Dartmoor' map for additional detail
If stone circles, standing stones and crosses are of interest, within Dartmoor National Park, we'd recommend exploring and seeing Bennett's Cross, The Grey Wethers Stone Circles, Chagford Common, Scorhill Stone Circle, Spinster's Rock, Nine Maidens Stone Circle, Whitchurch Common Cross and Drizzle Combe
