Holwell Lawn, Devon

Located in Manaton, Devon, South West England, England
Holwell Lawn is a cross country horse riding course owned by the local Pony Club. It's also the setting for one of Dartmoor National Park's finest bluebell walks
On the southern flank of Houndtor Down, close to both Hound Tor (East Dartmoor) and Hound Tor Medieval Settlement, there are superb views across the valley to Holwell Tor and Haytor Rocks
We regularly walk Holwell Lawn at the end of April and beginning of May. Whilst one can walk in from further away, the easiest route is from the car park just to the north west of Hound Tor (East Dartmoor). Head south, across Houndtor Down, and you'll see the bluebells in front of you. We'd recommend looping around to Greator Rocks, Hound Tor Medieval Settlement and then Hound Tor (East Dartmoor) before returning to the car park
It's also great fun watching one of the Pony Club events here. The location is very special
