Piles Hill is a summit in southern Dartmoor that affords excellent views over the landscape, stretching as far as Plymouth Sound in clear conditions. On the hilltop, you will find the end of the Butterdon Hill stone row, the second longest on Dartmoor, as well as the Long Stone.

Left Lake

Highlight • Lake

Left Lake is a small lake on the right of the Two Moors Way trail from Ivybridge heading north to Red Lake. It's a great little pool with a peaty bottom so the water is quite dark. It warms up well if you get a few days of sunshine.

Redlake China Clay Settling Tanks

Highlight • Historical Site

Part of the old China clay works at Redlake. Disused since the 1930s, most of the old structures were blown up by the army- which explains the piles of concrete rubble still present at Redlake.

Red Lake Railway (Puffing Billy Track)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Real dream of a gravel route with amazing views of the moors and the sea to the south. Apart from the big climb up from Bittaford, the actual gravel route is pretty flat. But the road is a dead end.
