Houndtor Wood, Devon

Located in Manaton, Devon, South West England, England
The River Bovey flows south east past the pretty village North Bovey on its way to Bovey Tracey and the Devon coast beyond. To its north, between North Bovey and Bovey Tracey, is Lustleigh Cleave. To its south, partly, is Houndtor Wood. It's a beautiful place
The Dartmoor Way runs through the wood and we'd recommend exploring the area beginning at the car park at the eastern end of Trendlebere Down. The first thing you'll notice when you arrive at that car park is the long view across Hundtor Wood and Lustleigh Cleave. Amazing. Follow the path around the side of Trendlebere Down or, alternatively, head down to the river
If you have time, and a lot of energy, continue into Lustleigh Cleave and climb up to its ridgeline for views from Harton Chest and Hunter's Tor (Lustleigh Cleave)
In the local area, visit Manaton, Bovey Tracey, Becky Falls Woodland Park, walk up to Black Hill and discover Bowerman's Nose on Hayne Down
The eastern section of Dartmoor National Park, around Holwell Tor and Hound Tor (East Dartmoor), offers great views of Houndtor Wood and Lustleigh Cleave
