Longstone Hill, Okehampton, Dartmoor National Park

Stand at Meldon Reservoir Dam looking south west at Dartmoor's highest ground and you'll see a shoulder of moorland in front of you. This is Longstone Hill.

A grass path climbs steeply from the dam to the broad, flat summit of the hill. From there, very obvious army tracks lead you up to the high ground. Longstone Hill provides great views of Meldon Reservoir, Meldon Viaduct and Sourton Tors. On a clear day, you'll also be able to look across the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty into Cornwall.
