Merrivale Walk
1.99 miles (3.2 km)
This walk visits the Merrivale Prehistoric Settlement on Dartmoor.
The area is a fine place for a walk with a fascinating Bronze Age settlement surrounded by some lovely Dartmoor scenery. The ancient area includes a complex of ritual sites, three stone rows, a stone circle, standing stones and a number of cairns.
There is a car park just east of the photogenic Merrivale Bridge where you can start your walk. Trails will then take you around the site with great views over Dartmoor to enjoy on the way.
You can extend the walk by climbing to Great Staple Tor and Roos Tor for some wonderful views over the area. The climb to Great Mis Tor also starts from the eastern Merrivale car park.
