Great Gnats Head, Sheepstor, Dartmoor National Park
This is one for the Dartmoor enthusiast. On the edge of Dartmoor's south plateau, there's not much else around the cairn.
We've positioned Great Gnats Head on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location.
To visit, we'd recommend following the footpath marked Abbot's Way on the Ordnance Survey Explorer OL28 'Dartmoor' map. When the moorland flattens out, divert to Great Gnats Head. Don't try to cross the River Plym around Plym Head to get to Great Gnats Head as the terrain is tussocky and wet. In addition, in our experience, walking east of Great Gnats Head isn't the most pleasant way to get to Ducks' Pool. It's a wee bit boggy.
