Walk 7 from the 'South Dartmoor Pub Walks' book by Bossiney Books. A walk with lovely views and full of archaeological interest, including tin workings and a stone cross. The descent next to the Western Wella Brook is wet under foot where there is no noticeable path and it is easy to drift into marsh. A tip is to stay close to the main brook, perversely it seems drier there. For a truly magical experience, look out for deer in the paddock on the right hand side of the path as you descend towards Chalk Ford. Be warned that the start of this walk has such a steep descent that it does seem that you are walking uphill for the rest of the route.

Note: On some signs, and even on the OS map, Scoriton is spelt with two Rs. We have it on high authority (the barmaid in the Tradesman's Arms) that the correct spelling is a single R.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
